"You've Got a Friend," Carol King
The list includes songs such as 'Crying' by Roy Orbision and Carole King's version of 'You've got a friend' (entering a year after the James Taylor classic version). Perhaps there is hope therefore that Don McLean's 'Crying' and even Madonna's 'American Pie' will enter the Hall of Fame in coming years. More realistically, however, there is a good chance that 'Vincent' and 'And I Love You So' will join 'American Pie' before too long.
