      From: radioactiveseattle@hotmail.com              This is the guy who produced one of history few drug/gospel tunes EVER,       and for my money the greatest: "One Toke Over the Line", climbed       smokin' into hit parade on every glorious AM powerhouse in 1971, the Top       40 song introduced and/or outroed by--among hundreds of other AM boss-DJ       voices--the likes of bombastic jocks like Cousin Brucie [WABC/New York       City] and The Real Don Steele [KHJ/Los Angeles] and William A. Hopkins       [KXOK/St. Louis].              As pretty much everyone "of a certain age" recalls, one-hit-wonder duo       Brewer & Shipley rendered the tune melodically, harmonically and       memorably...but linked below is arguably the DEFINITIVE version and       INarguably the most improbable rendition ever, with an introduction by       an accordionist with a cough, in the service of certain much-lampooned       bandleader from North Dakota.              BRYAN STYBLE/Florida       =================       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8tdmaEhMHE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
