Luckiest Music Generation: HMBN - The Love I Lost

"If You Don't Know Me By Now" is the more famous Harold and the Blue Notes tune, but I always liked this one more. Somebody told Teddy Pendergrass, "Go to church for this one."

And he did.

Special Bonus version--the Tom Moulton remix!

Luckiest Music Generation: Steely Dan - Peg

A song I was hooked on from the first second I heard note 1, even though it's not my favorite from their smash album, Aja (that would be the title track). The lucky part is that this was Top 40 for my generation. Not the deep album tracks, but what any ordinary schmuck could pick up on an AM station. Or even yokel teens like me in the boonies, with little else connecting me to a bigger music world.

This being Top 40 is what made us lucky to be around for it.

Love the Michael McDonald backing vocals, too.
