Dickey Lee "Never Ending Song Of Love" Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable.  Today, we remember Dickey Lee’s first Country hit, the 1971 hit, “Never Ending Song Of Love”, which many will also remember the Pop version by Delaney & Bonnie & Friends.

Dickey Lee was no stranger to hit records, by this time, having already scored three Pop hits as a singer; “Patches”, “I Saw Linda Yesterday”, and “Laurie (Strange Things Happen)”; plus as a songwriter, having written the George Jones classic “She Thinks I Still Care”.

1971 was a turning point, as he shifted away from Pop music, as a singer, to Country music, and it was the Fall, when he would score his first top ten Country hit, with “Never Ending Song Of Love”, a bouncy, very catchy tune, even forty-two years after it’s release.

Debuting on the Country 40 in October, the song would climb to eight on the charts, becoming the first of four top ten Country hits for Dickey Lee.

Your thoughts?

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
