I liked alot of them but Nicolette Larson had a good one.
My mother liked those artist. I liked Led Zepplin, Medusa, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Sly and Family Stone, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Oak Arkansas. My mom was a big Carole King fan. I have only appreciated her since I got old.
A few more. Get Together-Youngbloods, Talking Vietnam Pot Luck Blues-Tom Paxton, Volunteers-Jefferson Airplane. Been thinking the song Woodstock to be the anthem on this subject, and everyone has heard Joni's and CSNY's version. But a great version is done by Matthews Southern Comfort. Who? They were formed by Ian Mathews. Who???Ian Mathews has been on the music scene a long time; sadly, this song went top 20 in the Spring of '71 and few people remember it now. Their version was off the album Later That Same Year, released on Decca. I recommend it!
That is such a pretty version - so glad for the internet!
A lot of the songs you young kids are posting arent hippie songs at all
Ze Mad Dogs, ze Englishmen, et Joe Cochaire being in-the-zone at Woodstock - Chris Stainton! Leon Russell! Bobby Keys! Rita Coolidge!
Who could forget that one eh?? It had a big revival over here in the 90s, it was heard everywhere..I liked this too,, YouTube - Frozen Orange Juice....Peter Sarstedt
He comes from a very musical family with two well known brothers,,Here they are..

I'd hardly characterize any of those folks as 'one hit wonders' nor Carole King as a writer/performer of 'hippie songs'.
