The Peddlers - 'Girlie'

[manic65cvn]

A1 chick baby wow groove. I remember my sister playing this on the folks radiogram. haha

[gissabellalady]

Takes me back to Wellington in the 70's. Haven't thought of Slack Alice for years.

The Peddlers played The Ranch-house

in Beachaven Auckland NZ for a season back in the 'Girlie' days .1969/70 ? Saving to buy a house I worked a second job, washing dishes in the Ranch-house kitchen. Roy' gravelly voice was great but for hours every night, six nights a week ! Magic song and a super nice guy!

[hickster141]

listen to the words pure poetry

[malectric]

I once attended a concert by Roy Phillips et al at the Wellington town hall where they played this. Unforgettable..........

According to Les Dawson, The Peddlers were "the best of all the cheap acts." Coming from him, you can't get higher praise than that.

This was one of my Mom & Dad's favorite songs. They both have since passed on but I still have their Birthday and Three In A Cell albums. I'll cherish them always. I listen to them especially when I'm missing my parents, it helps a lot. Thanks for posting :)

@235rcc I feel the same, greetings, Peter, Amsterdam Holland

The Peddler's ......underestimated :)

[aeroplod]

It takes me back to 1969! Released on the Album 'Birthday' ...still got the original ....it takes me to another planet far far from today.

[PeterCarolM]

Love the sound, love the lyrics, just love this song full stop - takes me back to the 70s in an instant :-)

[mobyboy]

wonderful song !

[ariacurva]

Sembra ieri quando (questa versione) la suonavo su di uno sgangherato Hammond... che tempi...!

[ariacurva]

La versione di Patty Pravo (Il mio fiore nero) è piacevole, ma l'originale è tutta un'altra cosa!

[brick319]
