Maggie May was Billboard’s #2 song of 1971 (just behind Three Dog Night's Joy to the World) and launched Rod Stewart’s career. He and Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones started out as members of the Jeff Beck Group.
-
The Association, known as a “sunshine pop” band, was the first act at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Windy was written by Ruthann Friedman, a songwriter who at the time was living in an apartment at David Crosby’s (Crosby, Stills, & Nash) house.
-
The Fifth Dimension was ‘discovered’ by Johnny Rivers, who signed them to his label. Their breakthrough hit, Go Where You Wanna Go, was written by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. Aquarius, from the Broadway play Hair, became a ‘60s anthem.
-
Daydream Believer was written by John Stewart while he was still with the Kingston Trio. The song was a result of Stewart going to bed one night thinking, “What a wasted day. All I did was daydream.” Ironically, it was not a wasted day. Years later, he noted that proceeds from the song “kept me alive for all these years.” Two years before he joined the Monkees, Daydream Believer lead singer Davy Jones starred in the Broadway play Oliver and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in the same episode that introduced the Beatles to America.
-
You Were On My Mind was written by a woman named Sylvia Fricker while in a bathtub in a Greenwich Village hotel. It became Billboard’s #4 song of 1965. The We Five was originally a quartet formed by Michael Stewart, brother of the Kingston Trio’s John Stewart.
