Stateside, this was his big hit (Johnny always required his guests to perform live which is awesome of and by itself): Johnny quickly informs important background, HURRICANE SMITH had hits in Europe, which are corny but I like, like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Broadway_ Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I used to really like this song as a kid, but at the time I did not know the title or the artist. I remember putting scotch tape over the top slots of a cassette tape so I could record the song off the radio. Last year, I ran across the song again on YouTube and now I finally know the name and the artist. I still love this song. It's one of those tunes that really stimulates my imagination and paints a wonderful picture of lazy summer by the river. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 With regards to George Chandler: A few days ago I pointed out that in the film Westward the Women, George ends up with Faye Emerson. Well the other day, I'm watching Wagon Train and it is a similar story of a woman going west that wants to find a man to marry. This time the woman is Marjorie Main. The storyline is mostly how she is after Major Adams (Warren Bond). Bond does everything he can to avoid her,,, charms. At the end Main does some impressive stuff (she is one hell of a woman), and George falls for her and they are off to California to get married. Thus George, yet again, gets the girl, but for some reason the other guys are not disappointed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left after Rubber Soul. He moved on to producing and eventually recording Oh Babe, What Would You Say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that if someone told me this was SNL and a parody, well, I would believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because I often start at the bottom (last post and scroll up), thus I saw the post from movieman before yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finding that a lot of their songs are ones I liked as a kid. "What a Fool Believes," "Long Train Runnin'," and "Listen to the Music" are all ones I liked. It is so amusing "rediscovering" these songs by finding out what they are actually called. 5 hours ago, JamesJazGuitar said: With regards to George Chandler: A few days ago I pointed out that in the film Westward the Women, George ends up with Faye Emerson.

I think there is a later collection with the same name as the collection I mentioned, and that one is liable to include "What A Fool Believes" (I think it's MICHAEL McDONALD). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your musical drop of Jack Kerouac got me thinking of the word play in the following song - culled from an album which, coincidentally, is said to be 55 today: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
