Good Morning!
As I was trying to think of something new, something different for today ... I remembered a song I have not heard since I lived in Germany, not that the band was not popular in the US but that they quickly followed up with so many hits that this one just sort of got lost in the platter shuffle it seems! I remember that by the time I graduated from high school I was just plain tired of their command of the airwaves!
I am listening to it right now and it cracks me up at how they so obviously were copying Paul Revere and the Raiders, styles, harmony, even dress and looks! I had to crack up because the Raiders had their set style for over a decade before they roared onto the national scene - and Mark Lindsay was the one pushing to imitate others. Go figure ...
Sorry for no live performance here, the group in all of the recordings were either nude or too stoned to do this song any justice ... so album cover and a much better copy of the song in the long run.
Enjoy!
