a last-minute studio filler becomes the biggest hit for an artist. Added late to Maria Muldaur’s debut, “Midnight at the Oasis” hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, finished 1974 as the #13 song, and earned Grammy nominations for Record and Song of the Year.

A misheard lyric turned “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” into “Judy in Disguise (with glasses)”… and boom, hit song.

Written in 1947 by Irving Taylor and Ken Lane, this song didn’t become a hit until this cool man recorded it in 1964. On August 15, 1964, it knocked The Beatles’ "A Hard Day’s Night" off the Billboard Hot 100, became his signature song, featured on his TV show, and is engraved on his grave. In 1999, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Did you know Sara Smile wasn’t just a hit, it was personal? The song was co-written by Hall and Oates and inspired by Hall’s longtime girlfriend, Sara Allen, who was a stewardess at the time. Daryl’s love for Sara shaped the lyrics, while John helped craft the smooth, soulful sound we know today.A true team effort behind one of Hall & Oates’ most iconic love songs.

One of his most beloved hits, “Tiny Dancer” was written with Bernie Taupin in 1971, inspired by Bernie’s first trip to California. The “tiny dancer” is Maxine Feibelman, Bernie’s wife at the time, she’d been a ballerina and even sewed patches on Elton’s jackets. Fun fact: some radio stations banned it for the line “Jesus freaks out in the streets.”

Do you know if '' freaks'' was intended as a noun or a verb?

Written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David and inspired by a woman worrying about her man serving in the Vietnam War. First recorded by Dionne Warwick in 1966. Cover by Aretha Franklin in 1968. I like Dionne version.
