There is Ben E King’s dramatic Don’t Play That Song and Petula Clark’s rendition of the Paul Stookey penned The Wedding Song. Paul McCartney and Wings chime in with Silly Love Songs and Neil Diamond sings his big hit Song Sung Blue. John and Yoko’s trials with the media are told in The Ballad of John And Yoko, the Beatles 17th Number 1 hit. The program ends with Jim Croce’s poignant I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song.
