Raining In My Heart written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and the "B" side of It Doesn't Matter Anymore was released shortly after "The Day The Music Died". If I'm not mistaken it was the last studio recording released and I played the hell out of the 45. It still almost brings tears to my eyes.

Wikipedia - A brodie knob (alternate spelling brody knob) is a knob that attaches to the steering wheel of an automobile. The knob swivels, and is intended to make steering with one hand less difficult. Brodie knobs are also known as "necker knobs", because they allow steering with one hand while necking with the passenger. One disadvantage of the knob is that after letting go of the steering wheel after going around a corner, the steering wheel spins rapidly and the knob can hit the user's forearm or elbow. Other names include suicide knob (a reference to Steve Brodie, after whom the knob is said to be named), granny knob, and steering wheel spinner.
