The Lovin' Spoonful energed from the Greenwich Village scene,a home for political folk music,but concentrated on an eclectic range of pop music.Although John Sebastian of the Spoonful once vowed never to write a song about the loneliness of a musician's life on the road,he succumbed with Darling Be Home Soon. The song which appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's film You're a Big Boy Now, added a twist,however by taking the perspective of a lover waiting at home for the traveling musician to return.

Folk musicians-turned rock stars Jim McGuinn (who changed his first name to Roger in 1968) and Chris Hillman (who later formed the country-rock group the Desert Rose Band) wrote So you Want to Be a Rock'n' Roll Star for their group,the Byrds. McGuinn recalls that after looking through a stack of teen-oriented fan magizines such as Tiger Beat, they contemplated the shallow and transient character of pop stardom.Their discussion inspired the satirical lyrics of the song.McGuinn recorded the crowd noise heard on the record at a Byrds concert in England.

For all the new seriousness of pop,the charts in 1967 contained plenty of music about romance and fun.Songs from the South continued to find favor with pop music lovers. Everlasting Love, by Nashville songwriters Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden,was released on the Rising Sons label owned by Carson and Bobby Russell,composer of Little Green Apples and Honey. The recording featured a powerful vocal performance by Robert knight of nearby Franklin Tenn. Knight had sung with the Paramounts, one of many bands active on the Southern fraterity circuit,before recording Everlasting Love as a solo artist. Russell produced a later hit version of Everlasting Love with soul singer Carl Carlton in 1974.
