http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greetin...ry_Park%2C_N.J. has my favorite single album side (the second side) - Springsteen's
Greetings from Asbury Park The album was released in '73 but I discovered it when Johny K Howell from North Carolina turned me onto it in Germany around later 75, early 76. The songs are "The Angel", "For You", "Spirit in the Night" and "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City".
For the party, we'll stick with
Springsteen - Spirit in the Night I'd heard that one a couple of times in the States, came to love it on this album side.
Black Water - Doobie Brothers
Hotel California - Eagles
Miss You- The Rolling Stones
Feel Like Makin' Love - Bad Company
Fire On The Mountain - Marshall Tucker Band
Time for
Strawberry Letter 23 - the Brothers Johnson
The
lyrics are incredible with the melody, and a
great funky base:
Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain
I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind
In the garden - I see west
Purple shower, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green
Pretty music I hear - so happy
And loud - blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
if you try to ask
Is it cool?, is it cool?
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm going to be with my baby
I am free - flying in her arms, over the sea
Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
"Baby, I Love Your Way" Frampton From
Frampton Comes Alive - saw him on tour in Germany...I'd like to do "Do You Feel Like We Do?" but at 15 minutes or so, a bit long for the party. By the way, Gary Wright opened this show with "Dreamweaver"
