26 Feb 2016: it's...1973!!!!
« on: February 26, 2016, 09:19:59 AM »
Just heard a promo, which hinted that it was the year Nixon said "I am not a crook" and Bruce released his debut album. That sez '73 to me.

Wow, I never would have guessed this song was that old. Very sorry to have missed the first three, especially The Real Me.

BOS3 Rhymin' Simon, "Was a Sunny Day"

Her name was Lorelei, she was his only girl
She called him "Speedo" but his christian name was Mister Earl

Love that verse.

This song is rubbing me the wrong way today. His faux Jamaican seems mocking to me.

It wasn't a hit til '76, after Sara Smile. It originally charted in '74 but only got to #60, then they rereleased it after SS hit and it went to #7. Can you picture a record company doing that now? (Taking a second chance on a 3-year old song that died on the charts two years previously.)
