Sit back, and enjoy this gem from 1977
 

Just found this on youtube. I must have played this 10 times already. I remembered the song. But I didn't knew who sang it. For those who don't remember, it's Cory Daye singing with Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.

And if you just said "Who on earth is THAT??" Believe me, when the singer (Cory Day), comes out and starts singing Cherchez La Femme, WELL, IT WILL ALL COME BACK TO YOU!!!

click on this link, and you'll be singing along in two minutes flat.

Enjoy and Happy Turkey Day.

I was 17 in 1977 and I don't remember this song at all! I listened to it twice and don't recognize it. Where was I???? :confused:

I was 12 and had my own transistor radio and everyone had a big teen sister. I don't know this song.

I was 22, a rocker groupie wanna-be, a mis-- srent youth, etc. there was:

Walk this Way - Aerosmith
Hotel California - The Eagles
Somebody to Love - Queen
Fly like an Eagle- J. Miller Band
Tonight's the Night - Rod Stewart
Dancing Queen - Abba

:) I remember it! But it wasn't a big hit.

I only vaguely remember it (I was 31).... I wonder if it was a regional hit, say more popular in NY etc than in other places?

There are alot of views on the YouTube so maybe it wasn't played much in certain areas?

This is what we were listening to in 1977-- on the prog rock/jazz station here:

This is one of the earliest pieces by Renaissance. They were much bigger in Europe and Asia, than here, but we did get to 2 live concerts here--they still have a huge fan base, with the younger kids today.
They were the first prog rock/band that mixed classical/jazz/and beautiful lyrics. I still play them in my car! (Annie had the most remarkable voice) This one is one of my faves of theirs.

Unfortunately the YouTubes of Renaissance have poor audio...
This one is from a remastered CD...

Now these songs I remember! :cool:

Kitty,
You were younger than me, but you were a rock and roller!!!

I remember ABBA. And I LOVED Mamma Mia!!!

My husband is a rocker. Heavy Metal to be exact. How can anyone be 62 years old and listen to heavy metal rock music through his earphones while on the computer IS BEYOND ME!!! I think he has lost it. He thinks I'm nuts. lol

I LOVED Freddy Mercury, the lead singer in Queen. Now that man could SING!!!

But this Cherchez La Femme, well, I remember thinking at the time (1977), that I LOVED THIS SONG. So the other night I was having coffee over at a neighbor's house and the husband starts singing Cherchez La Femme, and I said "wait a minute, I remember that song", and he starts going "Tommy Mottola, etc.etc." and as soon as I went home, I went on youtube because

YOUTUBE HAS EVERYTHING.

And I've been singing "Tommy Mottola lives down the road" (the first line of the song), and Alan wants to hit me over the head.

Oh well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!

lol

Mel, when I heard the first two lines of the intro, I thought it was going to be this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OboZmKd1xc :)
