There was an article in the Boston Sunday Globe last weekend that asked the
musical question, "What recent rock songs will become standards?" The article
also lists "The songs recorded most often, and how many times, according to
allmusic.com."
There's no Joni here, but here's the list:
Yesterday -- 594
Stand By Me -- 492
Gloria -- 425
The Shadow of Your Smile -- 424
The Letter -- 410
Kansas City -- 387
Hound Dog -- 386
Blue Suede Shoes -- 377
Let It Be Me -- 358
I attempted to get a url for anyone who may be interested in reading the
article online, but apparently the Globe now charges a fee for accessing
anything that's more than a couple of days old. If you want to pay to read
it, go to the Globe's Web site at www.boston.com. Use the search field on the
bottom left-hand side of the main page to find the article ("Tune in
Tomorrow" by Joan Anderman, April 7, 2002.)
Also, BOB MULLER -- If you'd like me to send you the actual hard copy article
for your covers archives, let me know.
