1967: Remember when "To love somebody" and "Somebody to love" were on the charts?

Once upon a time, we collected 45s.  My brother and I spent every bit of our "savings" building a 45s colection second to none.  It worked out because we shared the same stereo, slept in the same room and had identical tastes.  Therefore, I liked what he contributed and vice versa.

I remember one time when I was accounting for our batch of 45s.  I realized that we had a song called "To love somebody" and another one "Somebody to love".

They are both classics from that wonderful musical year of 1967.

"To love somebody" was The Bee Gees' 2nd international hit, or the follow up to "New York Mining Disaster".  It was recorded by several artists and it is still very popular today.

"Somebody to love" was the first big hit by Jefferson Airplane, a California band.  The lead singer was Gracie Slick.

It was a great summer of songs.
