Answer
Dear Wilma,

It was 1975 when the song YOU AND I came out. The guy who sang it was none other than 60's & 70's country singing star CHARLIE RICH. He was best remembered for the song THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL which he took to #1 on the Hot 100 Chart for 3 weeks back in December, 1973. YOU AND I was from his 1975 release EVERYTIME YOU TOUCH ME (I GET HIGH). You probably remember it now as Filipino actor-singer SAM MILBY recently did a cover version that is now being used extensively in the television series MAGING SINO KA MAN.

The second song would be PAIN IN MY HEART by SECOND WIND. The band was fronted by former SIDE A lead vocalist RODEL GONZALES (before JOEY GENEROSO took over), brother of SIDE A keyboard player NALDY GONZALES.

Maraming salamat po!!
