Go crazy is what I will do - If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby

70's Pick of the Week

“I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “If I Can’t Have You”, Yvonne Elliman, (1973/1977)

I was watching the new Hawaii Five-O the other day....ya don’t start with me, I know! Anyway, I was thinking that I had seen Yvonne Elliman in the old version of it. I seemed to recall a version of it with a singer. Sure enough, in checking it out, there was a 2-part episode that she starred in as a struggling singer.

I believe in you. You know the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour

Hip to be Square

“How Deep is Your Love”, The Bee Gees, 1977

I remember in high school our crusty, but lovable math teacher gave us a problem once with a hypothetical group called the “Heebie Jeebies”, everyone knew he was referring to the Bee Gees. I thought it was great that a 60-some year old was trying to connect with us in his way.

You know those songs that you can’t turn on the radio without hearing – well this was one of them.  After that you could not turn on the radio for about a year or two without hearing the Bee Gees or brother Andy Gibb.
