I love the story behind "Ain't No Sunshine" about the I know part.  I never gave it a second thought when first hearing it.  I thought it was a little strange, but never thought it was a filler until another line could be created.  I think the finished product is perfect.

Here's an explanation regarding the mistake in I Saw Her Again from https://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-mamas-the-papas/i-saw-her-again:
Lou Adler produced this song, and Bones Howe was the engineer for the session. According to Bones, the part around the 2:45 mark where "I saw her" is repeated twice was a happy accident. Said Bones: "We were punching vocals in, and when we came to that part where the rhythm stops and the group goes, 'I saw her again last night,' I just punched in early. They came in early, and so we stopped. And then we went back and started again, and I punched in at the beginning of the vocal, they started two bars later or whatever it was. And when I played it back, the vocal went, 'I saw her - I saw her again.' It was a mistaken punch. And Lou said, 'I love it! Leave it in.' It was an error, it was a mistake. But Lou was wise enough, it caught his ear and he left it. And I learned something from that. You go with your gut. If something catches - they could be - there are wonderful mistakes that happen in the studio and you have to learn to catch those when they happen and use them."

It had never occurred to me that it was a mistake until I found out it had happened by accident. Although I didn't know all of those additional details at the time, I figured that it had been left in because it sounded very good and natural the way it was.

It's weird how these odd anomalies sometimes sneak into hit records. A previous post indicates that Otis Redding whistling at the end of Dock of the Bay was a placeholder until he could finish the song   

Regular visitors to this message board who also watch JEOPARDY 5 nights a week, likely applauded them/our selves while hollering "Who was Otis Redding" in today's Final Jeopardy

 

Alas, I was not inside watching TV last night.  Pray tell, what was the Final Answer?

I saw this. Well, I don't know all that much about 2021 music.

Well, of my +11,000-song collection, I decided about ten years ago that the VERY LEAST I can do to "stay current" on the pop charts was to collect the #1 singles, BUT I REALLY don't know much of anything from the +90s,  Period.  I have the #1s but I am not really on top of them.  On my show RARELY do I get requests for anything in that time frame anyway.  When I reviewed my collection, looking at the 90s, I noted many artists racking up top spot on the charts - many of them are either "mature artists" continuing to score (Paul McCartney's "McCartney III" album which charted #1; Santana) AND second generation or sibs including Wilson Phillips, Janet Jackson.

Boardhost provides admins with a choice of four sets of emoticons, so I just had a look to see if one of the other sets had a thumb's up -- but none of them do. Kind of surprising considering that they do have an option that provides that kind of icon at the top of each thread, but that just allows people to indicate that they like the thread itself as opposed to individual posts. I am very happy with what Boardhost provides overall, however, considering that it's free and it's also very easy for me to administer. Last year I spent a fair amount of time looking at other possibilities for another site that I wanted to set up, but I couldn't find anything else that had the combination of ease of use and functionality that Boardhost has. They probably make me look like I know more about running a board than I really do.
