"Live Every Minute" by Ali Thompson

"Lord Is It Mine" by Supertramp
Formed in 1969 in England, Supertramp took their name from a 1938 book by W.H. Davies called "The Autobiography Of A Supertramp." The band found themselves on the US charts by 1975 with "Bloody Well Right," which went to #35. A string of even bigger hits was to follow, most notably "Give A Little Bit" (#15), "The Logical Song" (#6), "Take The Long Way Home" (#10), and "It's Raining Again" (#11).
One of the lead vocalists and guitarist Roger Hodgson left in 1983 to pursue a solo career--he managed to score a single chart appearance in the US when "Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)" reached #48 in 1984. Supertramp only obtained one more chart hit post-Hodgson with "Cannonball," which shot to #28 in 1985.
Widely considered to be their masterpiece, and one of the greatest albums of the 70s, "Breakfast In America" spawned several of their big hits. But there's a few gems like "Lord Is It Mine" tucked away on that record that also deserve attention.
