the best songs ever

[Eric the Green]

The honors I personally bestow on this one include: best of 1969. Best of the sixties. #3 on my all time rock list. Greatest high experienced listening to a piece of music. Most requested piece on my own radio program. In part, source of my slogan.

Jim Pepper took this chant from his native people, allegedly used while smoking peyote. Jim was a well-known jazz artist and joined here for this group Everything is Everything by other excellent performers. The melody swirls around the chant. It has been covered many times by other artists.

I think the bigger hit by Steam "Na NA Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" was partly inspired by this song.
