This is a series of posts that will talk about my favorite lazy songs.
“I Get By” is a song by Stealers Wheel from the group’s self-titled debut album, released in late 1972, and is one of several album tracks that showcased the songwriting talents of Joe Egan beyond the band’s internationally famous hit “Stuck in the Middle with You.” Written solely by Egan, the song blends folk rock, soft rock, and roots rock influences with a relaxed but confident groove,

Released by Motown on February 24, 1970, “ABC” backed with “The Young Folks” was the Jackson 5’s second major-label single and the follow-up to their sensational debut smash, “I Want You Back.” Rather than merely trying to repeat that success, Motown deliberately refined the same winning formula.

Written solely by Hendrix and recorded at Olympic Studios in London on April 3, 1967, the song stands in sharp contrast to the explosive
