Thread Name: Phil Ochs Birthday(19 Dec 1940), died 9 April 1976
Subject: RE: Phil Ochs Birthday
Phil Ochs wrote some of the most beautiful melodies of alltime. Complex and using relative minor chords a lot, they are still 'singable'. Songs like "Celia", "The Bells", "The Highwayman", and even "I'm Going To Say It Now" are timeless and the meoldies stand right there with some of his more popular songs.
