    Way Down, I Got A Thing About You, For the Heart and Moody Blue (regularly) should have been there in the final few years.

    Not his song but he could have done it so much better than anyone else that has recorded it.

    Love to have heard a live version of "Amazing Grace"......would have been great with all the backup singers.....A complete version though,with all the lyrics,not like the seriously shortened version that was done in the studio.....Now that would have all my hair standing on my head!

    Great choices Rams
    Change of Habit is SUCH AN UNDERRATED song because its from the movie formula day's and always gets overlooked i think its a great song and really speaks of the times in the 60's and a great tune would've been awesome to have performed live

    If I Can Dream

    It Hurts Me
    "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley
