Song of the Day: 'Too Late to Turn Back Now' by Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose


Heard this favorite from my childhood at a restaurant over the weekend with Michael. Would love to know what song kept it from going to No. 1 -- it peaked in the No. 2 position in 1972, a rare R&B song to do better on the pop  list than the R&B, where is hit No. 5 -- as it's arguably one of the best singles of all time. Refresh your memory here:

One of my all- time favorites!

"Alone Again, Naturally", by Gilbert O'Sullivan, was the song that kept it from being Number 1.

Love this tune. I still have my 45. It was on the UA label.

Songs that had a melody, a beginning middle and an end, and told a story. What a concept.
