Well a have very few "factoids" but I'll post 'em anyway. Some,some of you,might already know...but for those that don't......

1. "Anything For Love" was not a pop hit in the U.S. but did make the lower reaches of the Country & Western charts. (Huh?! )

2. Peter,Paul & Mary not only did GL's,"For Lovin' Me" but they also recorded "Early Morning Rain" (like a lot of other artists).

3. Gordon was "one of" the first to "record/cover" Kris Kristofferson's,"Me and Bobby McGee".

(Janis Joplin can be heard singing this acapella at the end of the 1970 "Festival Express" DVD. She recorded it soon after.

Roger Miller got to it first in 1969. Check out my next message to find out how.

4. "If You Could Read My Mind" was made into a "disco" version in 1998 by the girl group Stars On 54 for the movie "54" (about said '70s nightclub in New York.)

5. "If I Could" stands as the lowest charting U.S. "pop" single (aside from non-charters) reaching #111 on the "Bubbling Under The Hot 100 Chart."

That's all I have!
