Love this song, too bad

only remembered for "Oh Babe..."

Thanks for sharing.

God, I love his production on his solo stuff. I love his productions for others too, but on his own stuff it was very uniquely his own. Who else has that sound really? I guess he was kinda the precursor to Alan Parsons Project, other than him that was not a very normal thing back then.

It is nice to discover that Hurricane Smith has more songs other than "O Babe What Can You Say:", a song which always makes me feel happy when I listen to it. ..also love that saxophone solo at the end !.

I had never seen either a photo or a video of such a cool artist .

@VIRIATO1942 Isn't he so sweet and cool ? Love all his stuff !! I'm looking for a few that he released in '72 along with "OH Babe Whaat Can You Say?" " called

1. "Auntie Vi's" 2. "Many Happy Returns" 3." Back in the Country" 4. "Getting To Know You" 5. "Take Sukii Home" and several others...... Maybe if we pester long enough they will bring him back? :)"

what a great career he had. Recording engineer for the Beatles. Record producer who discovered and produced Pink Floyd. Singer/songwriter for "Oh Babe, What Would You Say"

Dear Mr. Smith. I am sorry that time caught up with you. Thank you for the contribution of music to my life. I LIVED while you gave us your music. Thank you. Dont let it die and it will live FOREVER.

@justphil101 I agree, I don't feel he has had the recognition he deserves

I never knew what he looked like. But I always pictured him as the man on the moon with Oh Babe.

What an obscure song, as most of Hurricane Smith's music is in the U.S.A. I'm guessing that if you have this song, you probably have many others by him also. Any chance you can add others, including the b-side to this song? I'd never heard either of these before, but enjoyed hearing this one just now.
