...a song played at our community pool in the early 70s. I remember lying on our towels while this song was blasted over the loudspeakers from the jukebox (poorly) but cemented in my memory - funky and fun! It takes me back...
Brings back memories to me .. not that old. I was conscripted by a friend to help clean out the garage. In it I found something called a Thorens .. not sure about that ... thingy to play records. Also happened to find A Pioneer SM-83 stereo amp with these light up things called tubes. There were some old smelly speakers there too. I made a deal that i'll get rid of some of the stuff and get 20 bucks too. Got 25-30 records too. One was this one. It's like finding buried treasure!
"....a comedy of errors and I'm falling....." I'm in a bad mood today....and this describes it totally....Tomorrow, I'll be better....thank you for hosting my life on your channel...Ha!
The album with him and Elton John is great. Check it out. It's called The Union.

Leon should have been a Wilbury.
davidallenrost 3 years ago 22
Maybe he could have replaced Roy? Del Shannon was supposed to, but his suicide quashed that. Ah, what might have been...

Wilbury's are awesome. Yeah, Leon, Eric and even Ray Cooper on percussion, Bobby Keys & Nino Tempo on sax too. would have been cool.
