    Got to have this song in a Moody Blues list, with a little homage payed to "Nights In White Satin."

    This song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and was meant to convey the feelings of a woman whose husband/boyfriend was deployed to Vietnam. It was first released by Dionne Warwick in 1967, but the first version that I heard was this one by Aretha Franklin in 1968. It was also the first song of Aretha's that I had ever heard so it has a fond place in my musical heart.



    This is Aretha's version of Think from the Blues Brothers, the music is a little rushed and the words not very intelligible but the scene in the movie is great.

    She looks like Linda Ronstadt in that pic. It’s OK, you’re on a roll tonight.

    Snek is off the meds again, should have fried him.

    I think that picture is when she was with the "Stone Ponies Starship."

    Wut? Is that not Grace Slick? It came off a page that said it was and had others of her with Jefferson Airplane. I am not following, old men.

    Sorry reptile, go to the 1:50 point of this video. Behold the beauty of a young Linda Ronstadt.

    This is Grace Slick at that time.

    One of these things is not like the other.

    Ah, so it is. I got it off google image search from a site about Grace Slick. I had no idea Linda was pretty when young. Very pretty. Thanks. I was incorrect per my source but I take the blame. Too bad there is not snopes for images.

    I always thought Grace Slick was interesting. She was a pretty debutante from a well to do family in the SF bay area and yet she becomes IMO the Queen of the counter-culture revolution about 1967 with Jefferson Airplane. The timing for her and JA was perfect as the Vietnam War ramped up big time in 1967 and the war protests ramped up as well.

    Here are a couple of clips from the Smothers Brothers; their first hit was Somebody to Love from early summer 1967:
