New Seekers ~ I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

[Edited 2/21/11 14:39pm]

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

LOVED this song when I was a kid (as it was another one of the first songs I learned to play on my Magnus organ), and even now I own their greatest hits collection. I remember when they used to play this song on the radio like 50 times a day back in the early 70's. And of course the Coca-Cola tie in didn't hurt.

Here's another favorite song of mine sung by The New Seekers:

"There's Nothing That The Proper Attitude Won't Render Funkable!"
