What Are Your Favorite Songs That Aren't Widely Known?

Always love new music, introduce me to some I don't know. Here's a favorite artist of mine that is under-appreciated, James McMurtry:

As is typically the case with me, everything has a story behind it.

Back in the 70's, The Gibson Brothers released an astounding album titled "Cuba". It spawned several huge hits in the UK and Europe, including the title track, "Que Sera Mi Vida", and others. The album, at least the one released in the UK, contained this track called "You".

Curiously, all subsequent releases of the album on CDs did NOT contain this tune! In fact, I can't find this tune on CD or any other form anywhere! It has been a frustrating search that included searching the imports websites, and sending people on a wild goose chase when I hear that they're visiting the UK.

I found this YouTube "video" that is more of a track recorded off a single. It's scratch, and of low quality, but it is the only place I could find this tune.

Edit: OK, now I feel utterly dumb. I haven't checked this in more than 6 months, but this tune has appeared on iTunes, of all places! I swear I've been checking iTunes for ages for this track! Looks like it is now available, and I have my copy of it. So never mind.... Smile

I saw Hawk Nelson in concert with Lecrae. He is awesome and gives an amazing show. Even my husband liked him!

I am not sure if this tune is "not widely known", but I think some of you may be familiar with it if you had paid any attention. Smile

This is Uttara-Kuru's "Falling Through A Cloud". It's one of my all-time favorites.

History lesson......Popular Chicago group from mid to late sixties. Never made it big nationally, but WLS radio had their own chart, and this was a #1 hit.

Early Dan Fogelberg "To the Morning" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard.
