From the album "Acquiring the taste", released in 1971
Lyrics:
There's a cat prowling through the streets at night
And she's black and her eyes are burning yellow
fierce and bright
The lights are darkened;
Senses sharpened;
Wide awake
As she acts out her past of Jungle days
When the night was her friend in many other
different ways
It gave protection
Of detection
By her prey
With a sway and swing she walks away
And the look in her eye it never ever seems
to say
The way she's feeling
No revealing,
Black Cat Ways

I just looked this up because I read that Sherman Hemsley (yes, the guy from the tv show/the Jeffersons) is a huge fan. I was just curious. I am glad I did it. Great band.

I have been told about GG a year ago on a Rock forum , so I got three of their albums : 1- Acquiring The Taste 2- Three Friends 3- Octopus . The result was "I was amazed by the amount of talent and crazyness these Medevil , Arty Rockers had/have . I would love to some of the 90s or 00s bands try to pull stuff like these Mozart like masterpieces . BTW , Ray Shulman is from another planet !!!!!!
