In 1972, Lightfoot contracted Bell's palsy, a condition that left his face partially paralyzed for a time. The affliction curtailed his touring schedule but Lightfoot nevertheless continued to deliver major hits: in June 1974 his classic single "Sundown" from the album Sundown went to No.1 on the American and Canadian charts. It would be his only number one hit in the United States. He performed it twice on NBC's The Midnight Special series. "Carefree Highway" (about Arizona State Route 74 in Phoenix, Arizona) was the follow-up single from the same album. It charted in the Top 10 in both countries.[36] Lightfoot wrote it after traveling from Flagstaff, Arizona on Interstate 17 to Phoenix.
Jim Croce His Greatest Hits Full Album Zip
Jim Croce was an American folk singer with a short-lived professional recording and touring career, and decades of posthumous fame as one of the greatest songwriters and artists ever, with sales surpassing 50 million records, including three #1 songs and 10 Top 10 hits.
While his career has had various peaks and valleys, Al has been fully committed to the comedy genre since the beginning, with most of his albums during the '80s and '90s going platinum. Much of his early success has been attributed to the use of music videos to spread awareness of his songs, and he continues to adapt to changes in both comedy tastes and media consumption. Al shrewdly used Viral Marketing to saturate social media with publicity for his 2014 album Mandatory Fun, and he was rewarded with that album debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 (his first number one album ever).
Prior to 2014, Al usually released a new album and went on tour once every three to four years, which led John Garabedian of Open House Party to say that "every album is [Al's] comeback album, and then he goes away until the next one". After fulfilling his record contract with the release of Mandatory Fun, Al switched to fully-digital releases, giving him the opportunity to release new songs as they're completed instead of waiting until he has enough material for a full album.
