Answer: Ray Stevens

A departure from his usual type of song. 'Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight' - was the opening of the song. Our church has changed it to 'Shades of brown and black and white ---' - I guess they're being politically correct.

Answer: Indiana

... and the song was, of course, 'Indiana Wants Me'.

'I'd rather be a forest than a street - yes I would - if I could, I surely would' by Simon and Garfunkel.
