SONG OF THE DAY – Popcorn – Hot Butter
Funny that some of the tracks on the K-tel record I do not remember and some are so heavily etched into my soul. I know all the words of the Carpenters, and possibly wore that piece of vinyl out of the record. The idea that people listened to a whole side of an album is pants, you could decide in a few seconds if you did not like a track and then you just ‘lifted the arm’ and moved it to one you did like……I possibly would not know The Seashells -Maybe I Know if it jumped up and bit me…I am going to check it. OH MY GOD…it’s sung by someone called Mary Partington!!!!!!!!( overuse of exclamation mark…zero points) I never knew that, as we did not have the super highway in those days, ( obviously) and I do recognize the song. More delving, Mary Partington’s sister was Vicki Brown ( nee Haseman), wife of Joe Brown, mother of Sam Brown and Pete Brown, sadly died in 1991 at the young age of 50. Mary Partington must have been married to someone called Partington as I am assuming if she is Vicki Haseman’s sister…funnily Partington is quite a common name in the North West. One more mad fact ..the song ‘Maybe I know” was recorded and probably written by Lesley Gore in the States, who I posted about earlier this week who wrote the song from fame and ‘It’s my Party and I’ll cry if I want to ‘ joining up all the dots…and getting no work done….aaargh
THAT IS HOW GOOGLE CAN STEAL YOUR LIFE AWAY
Interesting that Chickory Tip appear twice. I heard Son of my Father on the radio yesterday…never heard of the other one. Ditto Carpenters and Olivia N-J too.
At the time, I would not have spent my hard earned money on Hunky Dory but looking at the list, what a collection that turned out to be.
and I am talking about albums i bought with my own money here too…the k-tel were great as you got a bit of everything…x
Oh lordy… my hall of shame includes Adam and the Ants, Marillion and ELO. Where are they all now? Love the Hot Butter tune, I remember it well 🙂
Janis Ian, Simon and Garfunkel, Beatles
lovely classy music, which i have learned to appreciate in my later years. enjoying your blog.
