Those songs aren't "lost" – just not played very often. Today is All-Request Friday on SiriusXM 7. It's nice to hear some songs that aren't the usual overplayed hits. Here are a few more:

All The Young Dudes – Mott The Hoople (37/1972)
Born To Be Alive – Patrick Hernandez/Hervé Tholance (16/1979)
Every Time I Think Of You – Babys (13/1979)
One Tin Soldier – Coven (26/1971, 73/1973)
Slow Ride – Foghat (20/1975)
Spooky – Atlanta Rhythm Section (17/1979)
Tangled Up In Blue – Bob Dylan (31/1975)
Tell Her She’s Lovely – El Chicano (40/1973)
Thunder & Lightning – Chi Coltrane (17/1972)

Joel Whitburn's Billboard reference books show the title of the Harry Chapin song as W*O*L*D. I don't know where he got the asterisks. The title was shown as W.O.L.D. on Chapin's 1973 Short Stories album. It was released as a single both as W.O.L.D. and WOLD. Since the title is the call letters of a radio station, WOLD makes more sense. Here is the story of the origin of the song – and, by the way, the real WOLD was in Marion, Virginia from 1962 to 2006. It is now WHNK. WOLD-FM has been on the air since 1968.

Close enough!

It's nice to hear some songs that aren't the usual overplayed hits.

It's great to see them dive a bit deeper.
