I remember doing karaoke here in San Marcos back in the late 80's. The KJ used to sing this all the time. I thought it was an odd song to do at karaoke but over the years, listening to him sing it, I began to really, really enjoy it. Just like I did when I listened to you sing it, Joyce! Way to go! |

I remember this song with great fondness. It was a 'wild' sound back in the day...LOL It's great that you found this track and made such a great 'come back' recording as this surely is! I'll be hearing this all day, and enjoying it. Supreme sing and mix. |

Oh yess!! I Love that INTRO to start. It's Absolutely Iconic. One of the many from the 60's and 70's. Those were the days. Oh, oh, oh, I listened to WCFL and WLS. I wish I still had that Avocado Transistor radio. You know I was the coolest kid on the block with it! LOL! You sound fabulous and those Social-lites are amazing! You have got me chair rocking in Chicago! I love this! You Got this, Sista!! Wooo hoooo!! Applause from Chicago!! Mwahhhhhhhhhh, Pam |
Reply: I used to tune into those stations you mentioned late at night when the reception was clearer from Boston..I got to travel through music!! Avocado Transistor? popular color during the early 70's.. Thanks so much for your listen and comment |
