In 1986 a slow song was constantly on the radio & MTV. It was a group of different singers that did this song together. One of them was Michael Mcdonald from the Doobie brothers. Im not for sure but I think Kenny Loggins may have been another one. There was like 5 or 6 altogether. It was a beautiful slow song. One of my school friends had been killed at the time this song was big & I would love to know the name of it.

I have scoured the internet and called my high school choir director. I can't find a thing. Perhaps you could contact the school? The concert was on March 11, 2002. There is an article in the Detroit Free Press, but you have to pay for it (is that a contradiction? lol) Here is the article http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?s_site=freep&f_site=freep&f_sitename=Detroit+Free+Press&p_theme=gannett&p_product=FP&p_action=search&p_field_base-0=&p_text_base-0=cass+tech+at+carnegie+hall&Search=Search&p_perpage=10&p_maxdocs=200&p_queryname=700&s_search_type=keyword&p_sort=_rank_%3AD&p_field_date-0=YMD_date&p_params_date-0=date%3AB%2CE&p_text_date-0=  #3 is the main article. I wish I could be more helpful. I sang in a competitive concert choir for 5 years. The closest song that comes to mind is "Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley" but it has nothing to do with Elijah.

I am dissapointed by the lack of response to your question. I had it on my watch list as I have also written many songs, and was hoping for a good tip.  Good Luck

It was a protest song about the Vietnam war. At that time the draft was going on and it seemed the only ones getting out of being drafted were the "well to do" and politicians sons, etc. Listen to the words and its fairly self explanatory. Good oldie song!

I saw an interview on British TV where one of the band, not Freddie or Entwistle, stated quite categorically that it was a load of old rubbish that they made up by throwing in everything they could think of.  Since it was voted the best song of the century, (or something like that) everyone seems to be treating it as something extra special.  I think it is a case of the 'Emperor's New Clothes' once again.

Go to Yahoo Groups and look through the groups with "banjo," "Bluegrass," or "Bill Monroe," in the title or content, each separately, and contact them!\n\nThen, go to elderly.com and perhaps call them, or just find the tab on the site.\n\nThen go to folkmusic.org and see what you can find.  Maybe folkmusic.com, also?\n\nThen ask the people (Jody & George) at pickinparlor.net.\n\nThese are good bluegrass sources.  Have you done a web search simply for the title of the song?  I'll bet that there's a good amount of Bill Monroe related websites where there are tabs for many tunes.  Look at drbanjo.com?\nMaybe it's doctorbanjo.com.  Maybe do a web search for him.  He's Pete Wernick, the famous bluegrass banjo player.\n\nHope this helps.  I would send you the tab, if I played bluegrass; I play old-time style banjo, and love bluegrass!\n- Matookie

A long, long time ago... \n"American Pie" reached #1 in 1972, shortly after it was released. Buddy Holly ; unfortunately, died in 1959.\n\nI can still remember how That music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, That I could make those people dance, And maybe they'd be happy for a while. \nSociologists credit teenagers with the popularity of Rock and Roll, as a part of the Baby boomer generation, they found themselves in a very influencial position. Their shear number were the force behind most of our country's recent major transitions. McLean was a teenager in 1959 and he begins by simply commenting that the music had an appealing quality to him as well as the millions of other teens. McLean also had an intense desire to entertain as a musician. His dream, to play in a band at high school dances, was the dream of many young boys who wanted to make people dance to Rock and Roll.\n\nBut February made me shiver, \nBuddy Holly died on February 3, 1959, in a plane crash in Iowa during a snowstorm. Its rumored that the name of the plane was: American Pie.\n\nWith every paper I'd deliver, \nDon McLean's only job besides being a full-time singer/song writer was being a paperboy.\n\nBad news on the doorstep... I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride \nHolly's recent bride was pregnant when the crash took place; she had a miscarriage shortly afterward.\n\nBut something touched me deep inside, The day the music died. \nThe same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also tragically took the lives of Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace.") Since all three were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959, became known as "The Day The Music Died."\nSo... \n(Refrain) Bye bye Miss American Pie, \n\n**Don McLean dated a Miss America candidate during a pageant and broke up with her on February 3, 1959. (Unconfirmed interpretation)\nSo its probably...\nJust a reference to the plane, "American Pie" that crahed. \nI drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry, Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." \nDriving the Chevy to the levee almost certainly refers to the three college students whose murder was the subject of the film 'Mississippi Burning.' The students were attempting to register as black voters, and after being killed by bigoted thugs their bodies were buried in a levee. Them good ol' boys being: Holly, Valens, and the Big Bopper, They were singing about their death on February 3. One of Holly's hits was "That'll be the Day"; the chorus contains the line "That'll be the day that I die."\n(Verse 2) Did you write the book of love, \n"The Book of Love" by the Monotones; hit in 1958."Oh I wonder, wonder who... who, who wrote the book of love?"\nAnd do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? \n**In 1955, Don Cornell did a song entitled "The Bible Tells Me So." It was difficult to tell if it was what McLean was referencing. Anyone know for sure? \nThere is also an old Sunday School song that goes:"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so" McLean was somewhat religious.\n\nNow do you believe in rock 'n roll? \nThe Lovin' Spoonful had a hit in 1965 with John Sebastian's "Do you Believe in Magic?". The song has the lines: "Do you believe in magic" and "It's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll."\nCan music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? \nMusic was believed to "save the soul" and slow dancing was an important part of early rock and roll dance events. Dancing declined in importance through the 60's as things like psychedelia and the 10-minute g

Um I think the one you're thinking of is American Pie by Don McLean.  It does have those words in it.  Also Madonna remade that song a few years back as well.

Yeah it was kinda weird the first time I heard it. I saw the video on VH1 last year and I then downloaded it onto my Ipod. Thats when I first heard the "explicit" version. It caught me off guard, but I still love the song.

I agree about Good Riddance that one is,,...well, oddly magical. theres a song called Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World that i really like and Believe by Yellowcard. There are many songs like that, but there needs to be more.

I haven't heard of it as a live recording. I read that it was an extra take that the band wasn't extremely serious about. And the record company felt it was a little out of character for them at the time so it was not included in their albums. What a great song and fortunately it was not permanently discarded.

Thanks for the brain cramp... I remember a group by that name but it is connected with country music. they were a back up band for a country singer but the name is in the back of my head... will be back with more infor....I said i'd be back with a maybe answer and here it is... Back in the early 50's on until the late or early 80's there was a country singer named Ernest Tubb and His Texas Trubadors.. i maybe right or wrong but this is the only one i know of...

The song you are thinking of was done by Carl Douglas. The Foo Fighters are still making hits and are better than they have ever been (in my opinion).
