      New Orleans music legend Allen Toussaint wrote Southern Nights. If you really want your mind blown, look up his version - the original. It's truly an ethereal thing of beauty you'll never forget. Jimmy Webb (phenomenal songwriter himself, wrote Wichita Lineman among many other iconic tunes) was pivotal in convincing Glen to cover Toussaint's song and to do a complete, upbeat arrangement heard in here and that was a huge hit for Glen. I grew up hearing this one and love it but wow was I staggered when I heard the original. Give it a listen, sit back and just bask in the dreamy glow of true southern nights...

      Agreed, and while that is often tru of great music, every such song is going to be its own kind off time capsule. The instruments, genre/style, lyrics, may stand the test of time, yet all root themselves in particular eras of music. They take influence from older music, and genuine creativity for a masterpiece that is one of many defining anthems of generations. Jim Croce's I've Got a Name, Willie Nelsons entire career, Tom T. Hall's I Like Beer, King's Harvest Dancing in the Moonlight, Kansas Carry on My Wayward Son, and who can forget Free Bird by Lynard Skynard lol. Just an opportunity to point out some other music really. One does normally list music to recommend.

    What's good about this performance is Glen is NOT lip syncing, like in so many other TV performances from that era (60s, 70s, even 80s). He really is singing the song here! The backing band sounds much like the original studio recording, but that's because of Glen's arrangement. This was shortly after the studio recording was released, so the sound was still fresh. What a performer!

    "Southern Nights"
    Southern nights
    Have you ever felt a southern night
    Free as a breeze
    Not to mention the trees
    Whistling tunes that you know and love so
    Southern nights
    Just as good even when closed your eyes
    I apologize
    To any one who can truly say
    That he's found a better way
    Southern skies
    Have you ever noticed
    Southern skies
    It's precious beauty
    Lies just beyond the eye
    It goes running through the soul
    Like the stories told of old
    Old man
    He and his dog that walk the old land
    Every flower touched his cold hand
    As he slowly walked by
    Weeping willows would cry for joy
    Joy
    Feels so good
    Feels so good it's frightening
    Wish I could
    Stop this world from fighting
    La-da-da-da-da, da-la-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
    Mystery
    Like this and many others
    In the trees
    Blow in the night
    In the southern skies
    Southern nights
    They feel so good it's frightening
    Wish I could
    Stop this world from fighting
    Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da...
