Good Monday morning folks, I hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did. Wow, it was busy. Busy is not always a bad thing though. I had the pleasure of serving some friends in a way that I like to serve.
I had an e-mail from one of you last Friday about the obscurity of the the Good Charlotte song and suggested I consider something even prior to the 1970's, my words that theirs. To be honest, this is not an obscure sing at all, it is by all accounts a seminal example of the work that this artist produced over the years. I have never owned an 8 track, vinyl lp, 45, or cd of this artist. I actually enjoy their style, tone and message, I've just never purchased(or downloaded legally or otherwise) any of their music.
The song was written in the early 1950's and first recorded in 1955. The artist is sort of a solo act, with background singers at times, family and other musicians participating in recordings and live. They style is a combination of folk and country music, if you ask me. It might be considered only as folk music by those in the know. On a purely trivial note, in the movie Starsky and Hutch, the song is heard as they enter a biker bar(now that I think of it it's a pretty funny song placement). According to Billboard Magazine, the song was number 1 on July 20, 1968.
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.
I need to know the following:
The name of the song:
The writer of the song:
The name of the "first" album it was on:
What was the inspiration for the song:
Have an awesome week, I'm looking forward to further recuperation, physio starts this week and will be ordering a new bike (slightly smaller that Jo's) hopefully this week to add to my rehabilitation process.
Having just re-read the verse, I better get lots of guesses this week, even today.
