My favorite Carrie Nation songs are the Beatle-ish/Mamas and Papas flower-power of "Come With The Gentle People" and the mid-paced ballad "In The Long Run." The former exudes an extended hand of welcome and peace.

One of the things that made Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls a groovy movie was the soundtrack, that 60's psychedelic pop and the songs done by the girl group Kelly Affair/Carrie Nations.
