THE POPPY FAMILY - "Good Friends" (1972)

[lancelot1953]

Great song - The Poppy Family was from Canada's West Coast (Vancouver, BC). They were famous across Canada during late sixties/early seventies - literally "from coast to coast" where they got a lot of air time on "beautiful music" or easy listening stations of the days. Their harmonics, musical arrangements and production were impeccable. Thank you for sharing this record I had long time forgotten and bringing me back the memories.

Terry Jacks was (is) an insecure domineering ass.

[MrTrashcan1]

@just4tunes I had that sense.

[patricimaimo]

@just4tunes Why do you say that?

[cfazekas0441]

@just4tune for real

I am so flattered Americans loved this too. As Canadians this was the era of CanCom and we thought anything Canadian on Canadian radio was 2nd rate. Clearly we we wrong and those who supported CanCom were right. Lots of wonderful music from the era.

Love this song from my teen years.

[DotErnst]

Definitely one of my favorite songs of the 70s....we lived where we could get Canadian radio staions and this was a staple in the 10th grade! Been searching for this for many years. Thank you for making my night!

Thanx for posting this song ,it's awesum .

[dstars8888]

My "Bubbling Under" book from Joel Whitburn tells me this peaked at #105. It is like so many follow-up songs of that era, it takes the basic sound of the bigger hit "That's Where I Went Wrong" and try to change it just enough to be another hit.  I loved "That's Where I Went Wrong", this one is definitely a cut below that but enjoyable anyway! I do not remember this one - did a little more checking, this one was released 18 months after "That's Where I Went Wrong' - in February of 1972. Thanx!

[Lizzpear]

@dstars8888 This song went to #29 on Billboard

[DotErnst]

One of my top 10 favorite songs of all times!  You rock for getting it on You Tube!

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

I've got the compilation CD "A Good Thing Lost." Haven't stopped listening to it yet!

[MrDDonnelly]

Are we related Mr Trashcan1? Do you have a cousin in California? Someone who also happens to be Susan Jack's cousin?

[Gypsywoman43]

Awesome...i've been looking for this for 37 years! I could NOT find any versions of it nor remember who did it. Ty so much!

[MrTrashcan1]
