SONG OF THE DAY: MARCH 5, 2010

Donovan's "Atlantis" from 1968. There was a guy named Paul McCartney who provided some background vocals on this track. Not sure if anything else ever came of Mr. McCartney, but his presence on this one is surely felt. If only someone else had believed in him, I think he definitely could have cracked the top 10 at least once.

On a serious note, I dig the spoken word intro that lasts nearly 2 minutes. It really helps to build the song before its release. It's certainly a different approach, and one you don't hear in pop music today.
