Did you know his son Albert Hammond Jr. is the lead guitarist for the band The Strokes?
I like "Southern California" the best followed by "The Free Electric Band" :)

I picked "It Never Rains In Southern California" because I think that's the only one I know of his... and until a couple years ago, I always thought that song was sung by Julio Iglesias... don't ask me why ;D

If Julio sang it, it would be called "Nunca Llueve en California Meridional" ;D

It Never Rains In Southern California
If you actually read the lyrics, it's a very sad song. That last verse especially gets me, and I don't know why.

He sings in English too! Ever hear "To All The Girls I've Loved Before"? :P ;D
LOL Yes, and don't forget "All of You" (w/ Diana Ross) and "My Love" (w/ Stevie Wonder). Other than those three, I don't even know any of his other English language hits :-[ ;D

Though I like "The Free Electric Band" and "It Never Rains In Southern California", I chose other.
Albert Hammond did a duet with Dutch singer Albert West in 1986 called "Give A Little Love", and it may be cheesy but I like it best. It made it to #6 in Dutch Top 40.
btw: for reasons unknown to me, both "Half A Million Miles From Home" and "Down By The River" weren't charted until 1975 over here. And there also was a 1975 song called "New York City Here I Come" (#13 in Dutch Top 40) that seems to be missing... ???

"I'm a Train"
This was the infamous "I'm a train, I'm a chick-a-train" song played on "Captain Kangaroo"!

I'm out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home!
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man, it pours...
It Never Rains In Southern California -- that's the only one I know by him. Good song.
