Mr. Shorrock, your voice is timeless over the decades. I’ve loved it since I first heard it way back in the late 70’s in college. That was a long time ago. Nice trumpet too!
Jazzy pop music, reminiscent of Glen Miller, himself. This guy, Graeham Goble the guitarist in LRB, wrote a masterpiece of a pop song, and it is performed so beautifully here. One of the best pop songs of all time, IMO. A 1970's classic.
Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night Would it turn out right How to tell you girl I want to build my world around you Tell you that it's true I want to make you understand I'm talkin' about a lifetime plan That's the way it began, we were hand in hand Glenn Miller's Band was better than before We yelled and screamed for more And the Porter tunes (Night and Day) Made us dance across the room It ended all too soon And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait I said to myself when we're old We'll go dancing in the dark Walking through the park and reminiscing Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night Would it turn out right Now as the years roll on Each time we hear our favorite song The memories come along Older times we're missing Spending the hours reminiscing Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait I said to myself when we're old We'll go dancing in the dark Walking through the park and reminiscing
talk about growing into a song, from inexperience to experience, wonder if Graeham had the forethought, or was just gifted it, to share with the world. BRAVO thank you
Saw LRB at the Nashville Tennessee State Fair around 1978 or '79. It was my first concert. I was a senior in high school and after seeing them live, I was hooked. They still sound fantastic here but I cannot help but get emotional when I think of how fast time has gone since that time. They're old, Im old but Im just thankful I lived in an era with some of the best music ever.
They hadn’t gotten huge as far as their fame goes when I saw them but that definitely followed. Yes Tony, I agree. I am so happy that I lived through the prime of my life with the best music!!! It’s what plays in my home 24/7😉Hope you have a great day.
@@cinnamongirl7877 You, too, Ma'am. :) Edit: I thought I'd add this little recount. Years ago, my daughter was getting ready to have her 12th birthday. My wife and I gave her a choice: 3 days at Kings Dominion in Virginia, or to see Night Ranger, Foreigner, and Journey, in concert. Of course, she picked the concert. She sang along to almost every Journey song that was played. I think I've done a few things right. You take care. :)
Hi Jim! As soon as I saw the song you were showcasing I heard the music in my head! Just one of those songs you don’t forget! They really could harmonize beautifully! Thanks so much for this gorgeous song on a warm summer day! Perfect song to just reflect on days gone by! Makes me smile! Hugs! Suzi🙂
Hi Suzi! Great song from a great band, for sure. So glad it made you smile. Smiles are hard to come by in these times. Thanks so much for your great comment...it made me smile :)) Best wishes. Jim
Such a timeless tune from the 70s. As a trumpet player, I was so happy to hear they not only had a fine player do the solo, but actually gave him an extra chorus and let him take the tune out.
Birtles Shorrock Goble are an Australian pop/rock group composed of the three original singers and songwriters of Little River Band, namely Beeb Birtles, Glenn Shorrock and Graeham Goble. The members are known for their extensive writing and performance of hit songs and distinctive vocal harmonies. They are sometimes referred to by the initials BSG.
LRB (little river band) lead by Glenn Sherrock. A fabulous Oz band, among many that gave us some great timeless songs attached to memories of the era when we were innocently content. If you were not happy but you were not sad, if you were not smiling, you were not angry, if you were in a hurry, but you were not stressed and so on, because we always knew that tomorrow was going to be better, and it was the time of "real" sense of community and friendship where everyone noticed others and others noticed you with added social interaction at all levels, unlike how we live today, individually and alone amongst millions in a deafening silence in our metropolises we over built that is now turning us into semi artificial intelligence in turn. Where did we go wrong? I miss those days of the land called once "the lucky country" that encouraged us with slogans and campaigns like "Life, be in it today".. Now its more like put your mask on, get vax, obey trillion other rules that came with this age. Does anybody feel the same way as i do or am i getting old, nearing to 60 ?
LRB came to the Tanana Valley State Fair, in Fairbanks, Alaska about 3-4 years ago, but it wasn’t the original 3 like this one. They were alright. But, I think this current lineup would have been great to listen to.
