wow i was 3 years old when this record was in the charts, i remember being visiting my cousins house and i remember hearing this record , today i cant even remember the name of the person who i worked with, worrying really, how can i be so accurate with my memory from so long ago ?
13 y/o, spring of ‘71, a big Hit in here in Scotland. I love Sally Car’s hotpants here (that’s what these shorts were called back then) reminded me of a pair of..red ‘wetlook’ hotpant dungarees I had. I saw them in a shop with mum and went on about them. She got them for me to shut me up. They were too big, but I was going to wear them when I was older. Lol! It was £4 she could’ve done without spending. I had a ‘feather haircut’ very fashionable at that time. My older brother had 2 Arthur Black shirts and a two-tone AB jumper. AB was a Glasgow shirt maker I think. The jumper shrunk in the wash so I got that. I notice there’s another girl dancing with hotpants on. This band and song brings back so much of that time for me. Some of our school teachers wore robes and we all had to at least wear the school shirt and tie - but that discipline was beginning to wane about the school uniform. Some teachers at school still wore robes. I was getting right into James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, CSNY, Judee Sill, Gerry Raffery, Gallagher & Lyle courtesy of 2 of my brothers’ influences, one of which was never in (ie at home) to listen to all the LP’s (vinyl albums) he bought. I forgotten how great this sound was in this single. Ah well..
at primary school, we used to put on concerts at break times - this was one of the songs we sang. That and 'Please Mr Postman' by yhr Carpenters. I was going to be the manager and organise the international plane travel and tours. We were 7 and 8.
As a former heavy metaller, having head-banged my way thru Led Zepp , Purple , Sabbath , etc etc in my teens , I am now absolutely LOVING the MOR sounds of MOR! 😄😄👏👏👏💐
Clicked on this and the chorus has taken up residence in my brain. Again. Seriously. How is this so catchy. It does not help I have birds chirping outside to remind me of this song
Sally Carr und Middle of the Road die gehörten mit zu meinen Bands in den glorreichen Siebzigern wir waren jung Bj 1960 und bekamen damals di beste Musik zu hören ❤🎉❤
