@camper69 Johnson wrote and recorded it in 1973, Terry Jacks was one of several singers who covered it because it is such a great song.

WHAT A CLASSIC !!, WHAT A VOICE , WHAT A STORY. GENUINE REAL LIFE POETIC LYRICS. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WORLDWIDE NO 1, BUT THEN AGAIN THE CHARTS ARENT WORTHY OF A SONG OF THIS CALLIBRE

Saw Kevin Johnson in Hobart about 33 years ago, his music has soul, it brings back memories of a great night.

Bought this in the early 70s - evocative lyrics brilliantly sang - of a time when music meant so much to me. Lost the record in a house move and had to replace it - I now treasure it and play it when I'm in a soulful mood. They dont write songs like this any more........ Kevin has a lot of fans in England and the record is often played by Johnie Walker on Radio 2.....thankfully

Danke.

I recall when this was on a wrap of American Top 40 (Sunday mornings in NZ) and Casey Casem described this as 'the ultimate rock 'n roll song'. he is fantastic - and what a tribute.

Last I seen, a few years ago, he is living in a Northern Beaches suburb of Sydney.

His son was in the Sydney production of "Jersey Boys"
