In the early 90s I subscribed to Time Life's AM Gold 1960s cd series. I was helplessly addicted and loved when each new package came in the mail. Of all the years, 1969 is my favorite...every single song on it except "Hair I played often.
I still own and love that cd and find a ridiculous amount of peace and happiness in listening to it on quiet nights like these, where the window is open, a soft breeze floats in and (for as long as the album lasts) I forget everything else in this crazy world.
My favorite single from it is Mercy's "Love (Can Make You Happy)." Its message is timeless, even if the cover art for the album it's from is not.
(lyrics by Jack Sigler, Jr.)
And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air.
Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone - that you
love;
Your life is filled with joy when she is there.
Love can make you happy if you fine someone who cares
To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.
If you think you've found someone you'll love forevermore,
Then it's worth the price you'll have to pay (pay).
To have, to hold's important when forever is the phrase
That means the love you've found is going to stay.
Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares
To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.
La-love, la-love
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love...
