|    long lost song...    |
|    08 Mar 07 04:12:07    |
      From: subronseiden@verizon.net              Back in the early/mid 1960s there were many of what I call "clean cut folk       groups" -- generally named things like The [ ] Trio, The Four [ ]s, etc. In       the same time period, alienation was a popular topic, producing songs like       "Little Boxes". During this period there was a very haunting song put out by       one of these wholesome male quartets (I *think* it was a quartet) and all I       know of it is the refrain: "The houses have no numbers. The streets, they       have no names. The people have no faces. And the children play no games."       Last time I heard it was on the radio back in college somewhere around       1967-69, and the DJ seguéd right into the next song without ever mentioning       the name of the song, the group or anything else identifying (much to the       aggravation of my roommate & me, who were the only two people I ever knew       who knew of the song).       Can anyone help me identify the song, its composer, the group that recorded       it, or anything else that might lead me to securing a copy of it? I'd like       to find it before I die (not the least to prove to people that I'm not       completely nuts).              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
