(1972) The fifth album by Poco produced the album everyone had been waiting for. “A Good Feelin’ To Know” became the most recognizable tune of the band. Besides the standout songs contributed by Cotton, Schmit, and Furay, is a version of Stephen Still’s “Go And Say Goodbye” with Richie singing lead. Despite the album’s strength, it did not do as well commercially as expected. The result influenced Richie and the direction of his music career.

AND SETTLIN’ DOWN

Written by: Richie Furay

Here I am singin’ me song to you now
I want you to listen, yea – yea, I want you to listen
Makin’ my time go by, makin’ you smile
I been thinkin’ of you, yea – yea, I been thinkin’ of you
And Settlin’

Back on the road again, here I’m alone again
Hotel ain’t home, no-no-no, hotel ain’t home
Worn out faces don’t care what the pace is
I miss my woman, yea-yea-yea, I miss my woman
And Settlin’ Down Well she’s …

Hummin’ another sound – I hear
Music in my ear

A GOOD FEELIN’ TO KNOW

Written by: Richie Furay

When I need good lovin’ I always come home to you
You free my life-time of the blues

Yes I got that old time feelin’ burnin’ deep with in my soul
And I am yours, Baby I’m home

And it’s A Good Feelin’ To Know
It’s A Good Feelin’ To Know
It’s A Good Feelin’ To Know
Somebody loves you

Colorado mountains I can see your distant skis
You’re bringin’ a tear of joy to my eyes

And it’s A Good Feelin’ To Know
It’s A Good Feelin’ To Know
It’s A Good Feelin’ To Know
Somebody loves you

Sweet Lovin’

Written by: Richie Furay

Sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet love
To light her way

Sun shinin’ in the night, my new born child
Oh my, sharin’ her loving with me, I can see in her smile
Wordless are the thoughts she’s tryin’ to say
Oh my, maybe she’s seeing the light of a brighter day

So give her some lovin’
Sweet, sweet love;
Sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet love
To light her way

Tears runnin’ down my face in ecstacy
Oh my, how we gave life to this child – Baby, you and me
With the love we shared inside, she found her way
Oh my, you know it makes me feel so much more for today

So give her some lovin’
Sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet love
To light her way
