Record Store Find
Browsing through the local record store and I came across this vinyl gem from 1967. Folk music of the era. My first knowledge of Fred Neil was in discovering that he was the songwriter of Everybody's Talking. Neil Diamonds version had been a favorite of mine for several years by then. His album, Touching You, Touching Me, which this song is on, may have been the first album that I purchased. I recall feeling surprise though when discovering who the songwriter was. Why wasn't he more famous? Fred Neil apparently shunned the spotlight.
