The music and lyrics of the song were improvised on stage during a concert in Southern Ontario[10] (the guitarist, Randy Bachman, recalled it being at a concert in Kitchener,[11] although Burton Cummings, the lead singer, said it was at the Broom and Stone, a curling rink in Scarborough).[12] Bachman was playing notes while tuning his guitar after replacing a broken string, and he realized he was playing a new riff that he wanted to remember. He continued playing it and the other band members returned to the stage and joined in, creating a jam session in which Cummings improvised the lyrics.[11] They noticed a kid with a cassette recorder making a bootleg recording and asked him for the tape.[13] They listened to the tape and noted down the words that Cummings had extemporized, and which he later revised.[12]

Great game Steve! Love that song. Didn’t know it was created in a sort of jam session. That kid with the cassette should get some royalties..#153 is next!
Clue: the song was a hit in 1976 and credited to one writer. In 1986, another writer sued for plagiarism and won. This writer now shares co-writing credit. (Too many clues.)

Here’s JPF Mystery Tune #154 (Revised). Added a few more notes. This was an instrumental hit in 1968. Number 4 on the easy listening charts, or Adult Contemporary.
No, David, it’s not Hold Me Tight, sorry. It’s an instrumental and was written by a French artist, singer-songwriter, but performed by a different French musician and orchestra leader. It did chart in the U.S. though in 1968.

Alice's restaurant! That is a coincidence. I just read in an article( I was reading for research for the next NTT), that the chord structure utilized for this song used the circle of fifths in organizing the chord selection...cool.
This is NTT # 155. This song is a classic folk song. Its origins are lost in the mists of time. Its been reworked and sung by many country music (outlaws) Bluegrass genre.
The music artist I am currently thinking of (and part of this contest, that you must guess)....I came across on a youtube short....and I was struck blind with the music emote
So I listened to more of her songs and picked one as NTT # 155.
Gimme a mina and I'll add a sound bit clue next.

The artist I'm thinking of, was raised by a single mom, left home as age 19 or so, 10 years ago, road the rails across USA, busking, playing in festivals, ended up in Nashville as one of the many street performers. She played at the dollar bill bar and has been very much american dreaming. She just recently got a gig at the grand ole opry (wherever that is).
The song I'm thinking of was Charlie Poole's first commercial recording. sold 100,000 copies.

Well I'm dizzy so dizzy with desire As I'm feasting heavy by the fire
No goodbyes on our minds Just a couple of delicate grapes hanging on a vine
Well these wine soaked whispers pour from my mouth I'm asleep by the fire and I never want out
And all the stars were out that night And I watched an empty sky
And the sinking feeling of emptiness by my side Well I'll never forget those nights we shared It was nice to know it was nice to know someone cared
[Chorus] And all the stars were the only light And all the stars were out that night And all the stars were the only light And all the stars, they were out that night

Both writers are/were British. One was a noted film composer from the ‘60s and later years known for his lush musical scores. The other writer is primarily a lyricist who has worked with Quincy Jones, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lulu, Henry Mancini, Meat Loaf and many others.
