    Neil Young talks about how much he loves this song.

  20. I think Roy's is the definitive cover.

    Just thought of another good one "blue Rain coming down" -his last great MGM single.

    Twodawgzz But why do you ask such questions...

    Not totally obscure, but I consider it a lesser known, excellent song among Roy's hits.

    This was the first song I thought of when saw this thread.Thanks for posting.
    Roy ,quite literally, applies the laws of diminishing returns to each chorus!
    Did Roy write this song?

    The Only One, from the "Mystery Girl" album. I think one of his sons co-wrote this track
