R.I.P. Moogy Klingman

Moogy Klingman, co-author of the Bette Midler hit "Friends", passed away on Tuesday, November 15. From the editor: On Tuesday we lost my friend Moogy Klingman who co-wrote "Friends" - the Bette Midler hit with Buzzy Linhart, The connection to Bobby is that Moogy's co-songwriter also wrote with Sandy Baron, Bobby's co-writer on "A Natural Man" and "His Song Shall Be Sung". This site should have a statement from Mr. Linhart regarding Moogy, Sandy Baron and Buzzy's one conversation with Bobby Hebb when we had a conference call a few years back. I wanted Sandy Baron's co-writers to meet...via telephone. Rest in Peace, Moogy. Here's Moogy at the Utopia Reunion "Friends" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCfGsM-MgOw Here's a "Sunny" song of the day in memory of Moogy - two different versions by Jose' Feliciano JOSE FELICIANO WITH A LIVE SOLO VERSION OF "Sunny" on tv "bad days are gon...

"Sunny" by Andy Williams

Pray for Andy Williams "Sunny" is Track 10 on his April 1967 LP "Born Free" http://www.allmusic.com/album/born-free-r26685/review William Ruhlmann reviewed the 1967 disc: Williams reacted by dropping the bossa nova and the oldies and looked more to the recent pop charts for covers like Bobby Hebb 's "Sunny." He even recorded "I Want to Be Free" (AKA "I Wanna Be Free") from the Monkees ' first album. And he scored a Top 40 hit with a pop/rock arrangement of "Music to Watch Girls By," the tune that originated on a Diet Pepsi commercial and had been an instrumental hit for the Bob Crewe Generation. At a time when non-rock pop singers were beginning to be marginalized, Williams successfully threaded the needle, reassuring his older listeners while proving adaptable to current trends. Singer Andy Williams says he has bladder cancer The silver-haired "Moon River" singer missed planned performances this fa...
