Ive been trying to find this song, couldnt remember the title, finally found it. Why wont the damn oldies stations play songs like this??? they just stick with the same old 10 songs. There was and is so much more GOOD varity out there, this was one of them.
Thanks Mike, last time I heard this was 1973..I was 15, I work a Puka shell necklace,,had shoulder lenght hair and Zeppelin was my world! then I heard a band called Montrose in i think " 74 or "75" ..everything about rock changed that day i heard montrose..oh,, then nugent..lol! miss those days when we had real musicians..what you heard on vinyl you heard on stage..thanks again Mike for the ride down memory lane..
Don't know why this song didn't do better in the US by either group. It was an international hit by Los Pop Tops, a group from Madrid, Spain, when I was in Turkey in 1971. The tune was written by Frenchman Herbert Giraud.
omg . omg. i've been looking for this (hiding under a rock since then) little ditty since i had it on a k-tel record at age 6........ Thank U Sire! thank you Sir ! ~ thank you thank uuu so much musicMike ~ ~ ~ (been tracking it since using net 12 years ago ~ just 'brother louie' alone was hard enough to find... let alone this one) ~ :p
Thanks for posting. Love this song. It would've been a bigger hit if it hadn't followed-up a Number One. Have heard Roger Whittaker's version, and it's good too. Different, of course. :)
The forgotten son did not go back home to find the house empty, Mamy gone and erotic dreams during the journey!

@x10048362 the reason you dont hear it on oldies radio is because it was never in the top 40s..

Well, this is the first and only version I have ever heard. I heard it when I was 13 and fell in love with Ian Lloyd and Stories. I'm 51 now.

THe Hager Twins did a recording of this in the early 70's. It was released on the Barnaby labe, and was distributed by CBS.

I think I heard this version once or twice before- I like it. What movies are those scenes from? Great choice, Mike.

Roger Whittaker?? Hehee! Can't imagine. Don't forget Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina" ... an excellent pick for a Flashback Favorite.
