Because it’s a nice sunny day and feels quite warm it has to be Here Comes The Sun https://youtu.be/KQetemT1sWc?si=8aifONkEL0sxOkk8

Yes, Kathy.  A hymn very appropriate for this weekend. 
. . .
In an interview not long after, Cat Stevens explained the background of the song; a Christian hymn with words written by Eleanor Farjeon and set to a traditional Scottish tune "Bunessan" forty years before...

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird . . .


Yes, thanks, Barry; I knew all of that. It was played at my wedding and thus thoroughly researched ahead of time.  :)

I first heard it in 1971 on Cat Stevens' LP Teaser And The Firecat...

I've never cared for his version. I prefer the traditional renditions.

When you posted the video, I figured you knew the whole backstory.

Until I heard Cat Stevens' interview on PBS in 1973, his was the only version I ever heard, Kathy.  Even the label on the LP said that he wrote all the songs...





What a "revelation" it was to hear him admit that the song was written 40 years prior.   ;D

But I liked Cat Stevens since I heard him sing this in 1968...

Even more so when I saw and heard this...

Good ol' Rod Stewart.  You could always count on him for great music videos...

In the early 70s I had trouble telling these two songs apart...

I think Rod Stewart needed that crib sheet so he wouldn't start singing Maggie May.   ;D

They do sound pretty similar.  Both good songs though from my favourite Stewart era.

A favourite deep cut is when Rod was just hanging around the studio in England and so did the vocals for this Aussie bands song.

Don't they now, Moog!  Look how seamlessly Rod Stewart and The Faces move from You Wear It Well to Maggie May...

You certainly can't miss that voice!  Thanks for that, Moog.
