It was 1966 (?) and I had a new favorite song. It just struck a note with me and we all sang it that winter on the school bus, at school and during recess! Decades later I won the record from a radio station whom was playing stump the listening audience - I got the song on just one note!
Paul Rainer was the lead singer on this single hit for the Troggs, many decades later he is a very close friend of mine - as is his wife whom calls me "Steven King" because she loves his books and comments constantly about how much I look like him !!!! (that would be pre-motorcycle accident Steven!) LOL It was Paul's one brush with fame as he was then assigned to Western Germany as a British spook. But, he has all of his photos hanging on the walls concerts and all.
Makes one wonder about the twists and turns of life. If he had stayed in rock, what would have happened to him? Most certainly I would have never met him, nor would he be a friend today.
Hmmmmm .....
