I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
Bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day
Bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright) so bright (bright)
Sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SAM COOKE, the King of Soul and one of America’s most influential singer-songwriters, creative pioneers, and game-changers, with hit songs like “Chain Gang,” “Cupid,” “Saturday Night,” “Twisting the Night Away,” “You Send Me,” and so many more. Born in 1931, Sam had a turbulent personal life but a rich and successful career, spending years in the gospel circuit where he developed his instantly recognizable tenor. He had remarkable pitch, described as “effortlessly soulful,” going up to a high C without losing purity or volume, and with an upper mid-range coated with a unique rasp. His style was very adaptable, adopting a classical sound on jazz and pop songs while maintaining his trademark hold on R&B, gospel, and soul music. He even dabbled in country, and he may have been the first soul singer to cover Bob Dylan. Sam’s influence has been cited by singers such as James Brown, Bryan Ferry, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Paul McCartney, Johnny Nash, Steve Perry, Otis Redding, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, and many more.
Sam also had a significant role in the Civil Rights Movement. In 1964 he wrote the anthemic “A Change is Going to Come” after an altercation at a whites-only hotel in Louisiana. He went on to use his popularity to appeal to whites and blacks, joining a platform with his friends Muhammed Ali, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X to campaign for racial equality.
Sam rescued the song “Wonderful World” after it was shelved by Lou Adler and Herb Alpert, who co-wrote and produced the initial recording circa 1959. Sam added a “scholastic” theme and it graduated to a big hit single in 1960. It’s been covered many times, with notable performances by Bryan Ferry, Herman’s Hermits (w/Jimmy Page on guitar), Art Garfunkel w/Paul Simon & James Taylor, Johnny Nash, Otis Redding, and others—not to mention the pivotal scene in the Amish-noir 1985 WITNESS film w/Harrison Ford. Meanwhile, HB Sam—thank you for blazing a trail with such an incredible voice.

I don't want to hear it -
No more fussin' and fightin', baby -
Hold me tight....
Let's let bygones be bygones -
Let's think about tomorrow, girl;
Our future's bright.

Song Review(s): Billy Strings - “Ruby are You Mad,” “Love Me, Darling, Just Tonight,” “If Your Hair’s Too Long (There’s Sin in Your Heart),” “I Can See Clearly Now,” “Red Daisy” and “I’ll Remember You, Love, in My Prayers” (Live, May 12, 2023)
With some bugs to work out and so doing things on the fly, Billy Strings and his band opened their May 12 Red Rocks gig gathered around a single mic and packed six songs in to the first 20 minutes.
“We’ve switched gears on ya,” Strings said after the group opened with “Ruby are You Mad.”
“And in doing that, we’ve switched gears on ourselves.”
The slipping transmission was more engaged on the following “Love Me, Darling, Just Tonight.” And when Strings, Jarrod Walker, Royal Masat, Billy Failing and Alex Hargreaves sung in barbershop style on “If Your Hair’s Too Long (There’s Sin in Your Heart),” the engine was purring; the audience went bonkers when the quintet sang:
You’ll live a life of fear and dread if you listen to the Grateful Dead
“I Can See Clearly Now” was little more than a snippet and appeared to be chopped up as the livestream organizers weren’t quite sure when to conclude the free preview.
The next-to-sprout number, “Red Daisy,” was not one of the band’s best, with background vocals wobbly and Strings not quite finding his voice, which reappeared for “I’ll Remember You, Love, in My Prayers.”
Grade card: Billy Strings - “Ruby are You Mad,” “Love Me, Darling, Just Tonight,” “If Your Hair’s Too Long (There’s Sin in Your Heart),” “I Can See Clearly Now,” “Red Daisy” and “I’ll Remember You, Love, in My Prayers” (Live - 5/12/23) - B-/B/A-/I/B-/B+

The #1 song from 50 years ago was Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now”.
__________________________
I Can See Clearly Now
Songwriter: Johnny Nash
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
