Another glorious autumn day in my neck of the woods.
I've been listening to some 'lighter' music these last few weeks; songs whose meaning is pretty upfront and you don't have to dig too deep to figure out exactly what they're singing about..
Today's song is from 1967, where it peaked to number 4 on the charts and stayed in the top 10 for 6 weeks. I was a mere child (actually, I really was!) but I still remember it well. My friends and I were fantasizing about our boyfriends and singing this song....ah, a simpler time.
This is the third album by pop star band Tommy James and the Shondells. (What's a Shondell??)
The original album cover was black with two pairs of yellow footsteps walking side by side, then facing each other near the top of the cover. (Scandalous!) This was considered to controversial at the time (in 1967??) so the album cover was changed to a yellow cover with a photo of the group . So, if you stumble across this album with the yellow footsteps, GRAB IT! You won't find very many of them. Hey, if you find one, and don't want it for yourself, post a comment and let me know. I'll send you my contact info so I can take it off your hands.
Ok, folks. today's song is 'I Think We're Alone Now'.
So, until next time, be kind to each other.
Peace and love,
Kimmie
