Raymond Froggatt - Lost Autumn

This was the 'B' side of Froggie's 1968 hit single Callow-La-Vita, and is in my opinion, a classic that slipped through the net and sadly didn't get the recognition it deserved. By the way, I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I basically had to wing it. Apologies to Froggie if I got any of the words wrong.

lol not his true singing voice so put on to sound like the other groups of the time one in particular see if you can guess who

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "not his true singing voice". It probably seems that way if you compare it to the way he sounds today. Then again, Froggie is more of a country singer these days, as oppose to pop singer.

And as for him putting on his voice to sound like other groups of the time... Isn't this true of a majority of groups? Froggie's sound might not be unique, but personally I don't agree that his voice was "put on" during this recording. I can only presume you're not too familiar with much of Froggie's pre-country music. Try listening to an album of his earlier stuff and songs such as "Anything You Want To" and "Ring Ting a Ling" which, in my opinion, are pretty similar vocally to Lost Autumn.

one of his greatest ever and im sure this would have been a chart topper if it wasnt a b side

[bravejordy]

Totally agree. I'm surprised they didn't release it as a double A side.

thanks for the memory-i bought this single in 1968 and lived in a shared house in brixton where i fought every day cos i never stopped playing it-brill froggy

This is one of those rare songs that no matter how much I play it, I never grow tired of hearing it. Definitely a classic !

I've always loved the sound of Raymond Froggatt and this should have been a double A-Side with Callow-La-Vita, as in my opinion are timeless classics, which I never tire of listening to.
