​       Fleetwood Mac
​            Rumors
Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. The band have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time. In 1998, selected members of Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.[5]
​
​Rumours (1977), Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Buckingham and Nicks, produced four US Top 10 singles and remained at No. 1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks, as well as reaching the top spot in various countries around the world. To date, the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the eighth-highest-selling album of all time.

​The band achieved comparatively modest success between 1971 and 1974, when the line-up included 
Bob Welch, during the 1990s in between the departure and return of Nicks and Buckingham, and during the 2000s when Christine McVie was absent.
​After numerous lineup changes the only original member present in the band is drummer Mick Fleetwood, although John McVie was the band's first and only permanent bassist, and along with Fleetwood they are the two members to appear on every studio album. Although band founder Green named the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood and McVie), McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts

Nat King Cole
I took route 66 in '62 from St. Louis to LA, singing this tune all the way on the way to my future.  What a ride it was!  Cole was our contemporary in the '50s and '60s but we paid little if any attention to him.

​​Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American singer who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He was widely noted for his soft baritone voice, performing in big band and jazz genres, and was a major force in popular music for three decades.
Around the time Cole launched his singing career, he entered into Freemasonry. He was raised in January 1944 in the Thomas Waller Lodge No. 49 in California. The lodge was named after fellow Prince Hall mason and jazz musician Fats Waller.[34] Cole was "an avid baseball fan", particularly of Hank Aaron. In 1968, Nelson Riddle related an incident from some years earlier and told of music studio engineers, searching for a source of noise, finding Cole listening to a game on a transistor radio.[23]
Cole's funeral was held on February 18, 1965 at St. James Episcopal Church on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles; 400 people were present, and thousands gathered outside the church. 
​

Notable honorary pallbearers included Robert F. Kennedy, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Johnny Mathis, George Burns, Danny Thomas, Jimmy Durante, Alan Livingston, Frankie Laine, Steve Allen, and Pat Brown (the governor of California). The eulogy was delivered by Jack Benny, who said that "Nat Cole was a man who gave so much and still had so much to give. He gave it in song, in friendship to his fellow man, devotion to his family. He was a star, a tremendous success as an entertainer, an institution. But he was an even greater success as a man, as a husband, as a father, as a friend."[57]

    Jazz - The best I've ever heard!

                                 
 
​
These contributions to the 'Flip Side' are provided by JL and we hope you enjoy them.

Warren Vaché   (born February 21, 1951) is a jazz trumpeter, cornetist, and flugelhornist born in Rahway, New Jersey. He came from a musical family as his father was a bassist. In 1976 he released his first album.[1] He has often worked with Scott Hamilton and has some popularity among swing audiences.[2]
Vache started out playing piano, but switched to the cornet in fourth grade in order to play with the school band, and in high school played in the school dance band. He also had many opportunities to sit in with his father's group as it gigged around southern New Jersey. Vache continued his music studies at Montclair State College, picking up as many extracurricular gigs as he could. . . Now listen to jazz at it's best!

​Straight out of 1972
​"Betcha by Golly, Wow" is a song written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed that was originally recorded by Connie Stevens as "Keep Growing Strong" on the Bell Records label in 1970. The composition later scored a hit when it was released by the Philadelphia soul group The Stylistics in 1972.[1]
​"Song Sung Blue" is a 1972 hit song written and recorded by Neil Diamond, inspired by the second movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto #21. The song was released on Diamond's album, Moods and later appeared on many of Diamond's live and compilation albums.
​"Day Dreaming" is a soul single by American singer Aretha Franklin. Released from her album Young, Gifted and Black, it spent two weeks at the top of the Hot Soul Singles chart in April 1972 and peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Easy Listening singles chart.[1] Billboard ranked it as the No. 61 song for 1972.[2]
​"Too Late to Turn Back Now" is the 1972 follow-up single of Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose to their debut hit "Treat Her Like a Lady". The single had previously been released in 1970 on the Platinum label.
Written by Eddie Cornelius, the song had great success upon its re-release, peaking at #5 in the U.S. R&B, #2 in the Billboard Hot 100, and #1 in Cash Box's chart of the Top 100 Singles for the week of July 29, 1972.[1]
