Grazing in the Grass - Hugh Masekela (not a hit here but number 1 in the US).

A two-minute trumpet solo ... who knew that was a thing?

I actually prefer the vocalled-up soul cover ...

Focus: "Sylvia"  (with a "y" this one time, never on the rest of BassChat unless it's not about Silvia).

Oh, and

Waldo de los Rios: "Mozart Symphony no 40". 🤣🤣🤣
(don't check this out if you wanna live your protected life some more).

What was that single Cozy Powell did, that got in the hit parade?

Man in Black? I bought that as a kid. I think he had a couple of hits, but can’t remember what they were! He looked proper cool on ToTP, as I recall...

I’ll add Truth by Kamasi Washington... (Edit to say that wasn’t really a hit, so...) I’ll go with Pearl’s Girl by Underworld....(Edit to say it has ‘vocals’ on it).

I’ll pass!!
