>>129777775He wrote a lot of great pop songs that sound nothing alike

Rip Taylor....... wait. RIP Chip Taylorand RiP Rip Taylor.
The Troggs [Pye, 1975]Yeah I own their greatest hits from the '60s and am proud of it but this one is strictly for the dimwits liberation front. What I like about rock-and-roll is that it usually takes brains. C
He also wrote "Anyway that you want me"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEJkCcDmTbsrip
