I think the 1971 version "Everything is Everything," by Donny Hathaway is better. It has more hint of authenticity in the sound. Although it is still not a Native American version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAMKL2KKumo

If I'm not mistaken, they wrote quite a bit of their stuff. |

they did a bunch of good songs......one of which, "Brain Damage", my band pertormed years later.
"Oh Mommy" is another that never gets played but is still relevant today....
I'd love to hear Oh Mommy or Fly, fly fly. And you're right...as I look over their discography, I'm reminded that they were a prolific and well-liked band in their day. |

This is so ingrained in my consciousness, my subconsciousness. Without it being in the forefront like hit Beatles tunes or "Smile on your brother" it's still so much of my past.
Thanks. Thanks very very much.

This song makes me feel glad that I'm not dead! This is a great singalong around the campfire song...segues nicely into almost any hippie/rainbow chant you can think of, too...

Do these guys do "That's Amore"? Only when the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie. |

The "Best" of Brewer & Shipley? I'd have to keep that next to the "Best of Mouth & MacNeal" or "Jigsaw's Greatest Hits". I guess I've heard worse, but this is generously irritating.

I thought Brewer and Shipley put out some nice tunes, I enjoyed the album "Rural Space". Saw them many moons ago at Memorial Hall in KCKS.

I'd love to hear them both! Too bad the Pepper version was "sorried" by Rebecca. That happens a lot.  |

Brewer and Shipley were cursed with that one hit-a dumb novelty song. they actually had some nice period stuff.

I hate it when people say a song sounds like music that came after it. You might have something with Sweet Jane (it came out in '69 / '70 apparently). |
