When this song came out we used to sing this to my Mom, Rosemary. She is 91 yo now and not doing well. If you could send a prayer her way I would be so grateful. I love you Mom!
Don’t Pull Your Love- Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds. This is another great song similar and sound too this Edison lighthouse song and also from the early 70s. The chorus is so catchy the musicianship is great! Pretty sure both of you would love this song.
This song brings back so many memories, I was eleven years old. Happy times before my mom dies in 1973 (miss you mom). You two are the groove! Keep on loving.
Tony Burrows has had a crazy career; he sang so many one-hit wonders on the UK charts that he was double-booked on Top of the Pops four separate times. He toured as "The Voice of 1970" because all of his groups didn't really exist.
@Gerald H Plus half of Pipkins ! For the other groups the recordings had taken place at different times, but (different) record labels sort of released them about the same time
You guys should watch this video where Tony Burrows talks about having multiple hits, including multiple hits on the charts at the same time with different groups, then later check out those other hits: th-cam.com/video/sR-5TeU6WVY/w-d-xo.html
Yes, 70's pop was great. And I heard a mention of Tony Orlando and Dawn in your gift video, you really should listen to them. Tie A Yellow Ribbon for starters, then go on to Knock 3 Times or Candida. Anything by them is wonderful! ❤
This song is one of the happiest flashbacks to my childhood you could have found. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Plus, the song describes pretty much every girlfriend I had over the years, and my wife.
This is another one of those great songs. For all the recording technology that exists now I cant think of a single band today that could create anything like it.
This guy was a one-hit wonder. He had 5 top ten songs with 5 different bands, all in one year. Sang on over 100 top one hundred hits. Thanks Tony Burrows. Still singing, today.
I agree Amber, 70's pop included every "so called" genre, and is close to my heart being 6-15 years old in that decade. The 80's is a real close second. In both decades I went from childhood to young adulthood and music is just full of great memories of the best years of my life. I feel fortunate to have experienced the incredible music and variety, and evolving styles during those epic years. 😊
Music is the sound track to our lives. We hear a song and are transported back in time. We know exactly where we were and what we were doing. For example the song Joy To The World. I heard it during smoke break at school and the cicadas were out and covered the trees. I didn't smoke but my friends did. I'm a little older than you but feel the same way as you. I am more partial to the 70s though.
@@Teresia12 I'm partial to the 70's too. I said the 80's is a close 2nd. Isn't funny how many details of memory a song can bring to mind? I loved your story. 😊
This song was their biggest hit in 1970. Tony Burrows the lead singer released other songs under different names. "Gimme Dat Ding" (the Pipkins), "My Baby Loves Lovin'" (White Plains), & "United We Stand" (Brotherhood of Man) & "Beach Baby" (the First Class).
OMG, I just did the math & I was 5, gonna be 6 in Dec. That song came out in 1971. Holy Moly, I'm old!!! ( Not like I didn't already know that!! ) 😳 Born & raised in Garden Grove, Calif. Now I'm in Carson City, NV.
@@teriangel8807 My condolences...I grew up by Westminster and Bolsa Chica...in 2000 I bought a house at Valley View and Chapman. In 2004 I moved to Missouri !
The 70's was the absolute best decade for music. Upbeat, amazing harmonies, catchy melodies, the addition of orchestral instruments, and words that made sense!
This is a prime example of “feel good” music. If you allow yourself to listen to the lyrics and feel the music, your mood instantly improves… if only for a short time.
When this song came out, I had a crush on a class mate named Rosemary. another good song that came out about the same time is Smile A Little Smile For Me Rosemarie by The Flying Machine.
A pure pop song. Another group, The Grass Roots, had a number of hits like this. Songs like "Sooner or Later", "Midnight Confessions", and "Temptation Eyes".
I was a kid when this song came out...and we (my friends) and I loved it! I was given permission to carry a transistor radio (ya'll too young to know what that type of radio that is...but my mom would let me carry it to my Elementary school on the last day of school)...and our teacher would let us listen to it in the cafeteria during lunch on our last day...I remember this song coming on and everyone singing to it!!! Good memories!!!! We had so much fun!!!
Tony Burrows was the lead singer on this song. He was a studio musician and was used on several "one hit wonders" as the lead vocalist. Burrows sang the lead vocals on several other "one hit wonders" songs under different group names, Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (February 1970); White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'" (March 1970); the Pipkins' novelty song "Gimme Dat Ding" (April 1970); and the First Class' "Beach Baby" (July 1974). He also sang lead vocals on Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand", which reached No. 10 on the UK chart and also reached No. 13 in the U.S. More "one hit wonders" than any one in history.
Also was in The Flowerpot Men - Lets Go To San Francisco (one of the Flowerpot Men was Whistling Jack Smith - I was Kaiser Bill's Batman , judging by the vid appearence and writing / productions crossovers )
I was about ten years old when this came out loved it ever since on my playlist. Love this trip down memory lane damn we had some good tunes growing up.🇬🇧
Just happened across this, I'm 66 now and can still singalong with this song word for word.❤ amazing specially as I don't remember what day of the week it is half the time.🤗
For another new band that you haven't heard, try The Marmalade - "Reflections of my Life." Edison Lighthouse didn't really have much else besides this, but their singer did.
😀 This takes me back to when we use to argue with parents, over the transistor radios. Us girls listening to our fav songs n parents turn the dial to hear the news 😀. Thank you very much for your reactions. It humbling to know that young people like yuz enjoy these music 👍🙏🌺
my birthday today and this grown man of 63 years old had a tear in his eye after hearing this and we used to listen to transistor radios am only if you can believe it and this tune was on there and many memories from this and currently in tears oh my gawd and music from this era will have you back to yesterday in no time. i made a comment on the hazy shade of winter and saw love grows posted i had to jump in on this and thanks so much for reacting to this awesome tune you guys rocks.
This song literally changed my life. I first heard it on The Banana Splits (Saturday morning kid's TV show). I was living in a small town in the middle of nowhere and the characters on the show lived in a theme park. I vowed to work in a theme park and I kept that vow as an adult-working in a Six Flags park for five years.
Wow , I remember going to Kings Park as a late teen, because I couldn’t go when I was actually watching the Banana Splits as a young kid as I lived in California .
Edison Lighthouse are an English pop band, formed in London in 1969. The band was best known for their 1970 hit single "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" recorded in late 1969. Edison Lighthouse was named after the Eddystone Lighthouse off the coast of Devon. The band later dropped the Lighthouse and became just Edison. The Eddystone Lighthouse is a lighthouse that is located on the dangerous Eddystone Rocks, 9 statute miles (14 km) south of Rame Head in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The rocks are submerged below the surface of the sea.
I love this song, have not heard it or thought about it since ......well since 1969 - 70 ish........every morning over the PA at school before class.....it was on the hit list...
Great song to sing along with, back in the day if we were in the car, or at home listening to the radio… When it came on we sang. These are songs you don’t forget.
I have loved this song ever since I heard it when I was little. This is definitely on the short list of songs that always makes me smile (even watching this reaction tonight after getting some terrible news that soured my mood and ruined my entire day, I still have a big smile on my face at this moment after hearing the song). Thank you for playing this one tonight when I really needed it, and I'm really glad you guys enjoyed it. After hearing about Amber's love of 70s pop, I feel compelled to recommend another favorite of mine from that era. You guys need to react to "Rock Me Gently" by Andy Kim. It's another really fun song and I'm confident you guys will love it!
I love it when I see young people experiencing the music of that era. What they probably didn't know, when setting out on this journey of discovery, is how significant music was to a young, pre-internet, pre-social media generation. It might not be too far off to say it was everything, for it was the one thing you shared with everyone else and it was always around you. And that was in large part due to the explosion of energy and creativity that went into that musical era, beginning in the '50s and lasting thru the '70s.
Happy, do you remember The Ides Of March song 'Goodbye LA'? Besides the original recordings, you can also find two great live versions of this song if you check out the posts by: Jean Mikota or valeriemmm).
This song was number one in the UK charts when I was born on the 4th February 1970 🥰 Sending love to the family all the way from Scotland, UK 🏴🇬🇧
I had this song on a tape cassette when it was a hit. I memorized where it was in the middle of the tape and would pretty much find it exactly at the start of the song and hear it over and over. This was in 1970 if memory serves. So pleased you both are enjoying it. Such a lovely song!
I was a lad of 15 when this came out in 1970. i remember it well, it was all over the radio. For female fridays, please react to another tune that came out around this time, Lay down by Melanie Safka and the Edwin Hawkins singers.The studio version is special.
Watching you both listen to this classic from my younger days left me smiling and crying a little, too. In a good way. Thanks for this! I'll be watching more of your stuff in the future!
This song was also used in the film "Shallow Hal". Another song with a similar vibe is Dionne Warwick's "I Say a Little Prayer for You", which was also featured in the film "My Best Friend's Wedding".
I remember this song from probably when I was pre school age. I suddenly feel like watching “The Bugaloos” or “HR Puffnstuff”. Thanks for the lovely memory.
This was a genre which targeted youngsters, young teens. It was called "Bubble Gum", because the audience were so young and chewing bubblegum. Other B.G. songs were from groups like "The Archie's", "1910 Fruit gum Company", "The Partridge Family", "Tommy Roe", Ohio Express", etc etc. The majority of which were all one hit wonders. 😎
The Cowsills should be reacted too also. The songs Hair, The Rain, the Park and Other things. And the original theme to Love American Style TV show would be fun.
@@cathyortiz1280 I didn't say Bubblegum Music didn't have any hits, I was merely making a comment about the Genre that bubblegum is/was. I was a big fan of bubblegum when I was young too, but a person grows and leaves childish ways behind. 🤔😎
@@donjenkins3861 I still like some of it. But I've always liked a wide variety of music, including the various genre's of pop/rock. I loved both The Monkees & Hendrix (who they discovered btw), Archie's & Janis Joplin, Dylan, Doors, CCR, Alice Cooper, Whitney Houston, Green Day, etc. The list is too long. I don't like every song. Even The Beatles had a few I didn't like. But I don't mind a well crafted pop/bubblegum song.
Love love love this song by Edison Lighthouse and absolutely love the voice of Tony Burrows who was the lead singer of this song. This song will never be outdated.❤❤❤❤❤❤
For more of this singer, check out "Beach Baby" by First Class, and "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man. He was in something like 5 different bands, all one-hit wonders.
I love your channel, I'm in a chair most of the time, I have scoliosis and a deteriorating spine, which is why I'm in a chair, your video's make me dance in my chair thank you, I love you guys. I'm 63 so I remember all these songs, I love seeing your reactions, you two are so much fun to watch and listen to
Other one-hit wonders from the 70s: "Precious and Few" by Climax; "Brother Louie" by Stories; "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson; "Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur; "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation.
Speaking of Lighthouse 😁 - still waiting for the day you react to them. Fabulous singers and musicians, lots of horns and other instruments. Just a great Canadian 70s band! One Fine Morning, Sunny Days - just a couple of suggestions.
This is one of my favorite walking songs, the beat is exactly the right pace and the song is so upbeat and fun you can’t not get moving and smiling at the same time
I’m a child of the 60’s and I just love songs from the 70’s. This song is one of my all time favorites. So happy to see you guys enjoyed it.
Yup me too, kid in the 60s, teen in the 70s
When this song came out we used to sing this to my Mom, Rosemary. She is 91 yo now and not doing well. If you could send a prayer her way I would be so grateful. I love you Mom!
Will do.... 🙏
Done!
🙏❣️💪✌️
Dearest thoughts from me!! Hope she has as well a life as possible. Also,best wishes.
🙏 I hope she’s doing well sorry I didn’t see this video sooner.
gonna cry.. so glad u guys heard this song- such a perfect vibe of the 70's
This is a Song which makes your heart warm.
I have a dog named Rosemary. Nothing grows where my Rosemary goes! Great memories from the 70's. Thank you!
LOL
😂😂😂👌
🤣🤣🤣
🤣
i laughed
Don’t Pull Your Love- Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds. This is another great song similar and sound too this Edison lighthouse song and also from the early 70s. The chorus is so catchy the musicianship is great! Pretty sure both of you would love this song.
As a little kid in the 70's, I always thought Elvis sang that one. Years later, I was shocked to find that out it wasn't.
I love that song too!!
Been wanting to hear that one forever!!!
Nice call!! Great catchy pop tune from mid-70’s…
I just posted the link for Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds above. Glad I'm not alone here! LOL!
This song brings back so many memories, I was eleven years old. Happy times before my mom dies in 1973 (miss you mom). You two are the groove! Keep on loving.
When this came out in 1970, I was 12 years old, and loved this song! It was a happy song, during really fun years. Good memories! 😊
Yes I remember going to the youth club disco ,playing this

They haven’t listened to Tie A Yellow Ribbon by Tony Orlando & Dawn. You guys have to listen to it.
Edison Lighthouse 1969
I remember this song being played over and over on the jukebox back in the day. Timeless classic! Thanks for the memories.
Ya'll can't help but smile when you hear this!!!!!
The fabulous Tony Burrows.
What a charmed life he’s had
This song is one of the happiest flashbacks to my childhood you could have found. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Plus, the song describes pretty much every girlfriend I had over the years, and my wife.
Makes you wanna turn on Saturday morning cartoons doesn’t it?
Same here.
@@demonhoopa, yes!!
That is such a sweet thing to say about your ex girlfriends AND your wife.
@@connieb4372 I wasn't someone you'd call a "keeper" yet, but they were. The different girlfriends got me ready for Lisa. 😸
This is another one of those great songs. For all the recording technology that exists now I cant think of a single band today that could create anything like it.
Me 65. Granddaughter 22. Holding hands. Walking down a dirt road. Talking to each other. That's what life is about ❤
How adorable. That reminds me of when I'm with my grandmother.
Absolutely one of my all time favorites,,,remember when it hit the charts...great tune
Remember loving this song when it first came out. Still love it all these years later✌️
Me too! My sister had the 45 and played it over and over. We memorized it...🤣
This guy was a one-hit wonder. He had 5 top ten songs with 5 different bands, all in one year. Sang on over 100 top one hundred hits. Thanks Tony Burrows. Still singing, today.
One of my favorite one hit wonders of the early 70's.
This is a hidden jewel! What a melody!

I despised Gimme Dat Ding lol
Thanks those songs were great too.

I too was in the 8th grade listening in Rosemead, Cali. Do believe I still have the 45.
OMG, I just did the math & I was 5, gonna be 6 in Dec. That song came out in 1971. Holy Moly, I'm old!!! ( Not like I didn't already know that!! ) 😳 Born & raised in Garden Grove, Calif. Now I'm in Carson City, NV.

This is one of those songs that you don't want to end. It has hooks upon hooks, always brings a smile to my face.
Just turned 70 and very happy that I grew up with this kind of music.
You gotta be 13 to 22 to appreciate the emotional component & the desperation in this song. That is what those years are all about
The 70's was the absolute best decade for music. Upbeat, amazing harmonies, catchy melodies, the addition of orchestral instruments, and words that made sense!
I haven't heard this in years and years but I still remember every word and syllable. Sang right along with the whole song.
Ditto!!!!
This is a prime example of “feel good” music. If you allow yourself to listen to the lyrics and feel the music, your mood instantly improves… if only for a short time.
When this song came out, I had a crush on a class mate named Rosemary. another good song that came out about the same time is Smile A Little Smile For Me Rosemarie by The Flying Machine.
Yea man that's a great song . Hopefully they'll see this and review it!!
Good one hit wonder!
A pure pop song. Another group, The Grass Roots, had a number of hits like this. Songs like "Sooner or Later", "Midnight Confessions", and "Temptation Eyes".
Great suggestions!
The Grassroots are my all time favorite bands. Please react to them.
Temptation eyes has such a great groove.. and Midnight Confession.. man.. going back to my early teens with those songs!
Love all 3 of these but especially Midnight Confessions
Don't forget Two Divided By Love or I'd Wait A Million Years. They had their share of good tunes.
Wow-I was driving around doing errands yesterday and singing this song! Always loved this catchy, sweet song! So glad you reacted to it.
This takes me back to my childhood and so many happy memories listening to this song 🎵.
Yes one of my all time favorite songs. A feel good song! Thank you so much!
If you grew up in this era you understand why we had it so good.
I was a kid when this song came out...and we (my friends) and I loved it! I was given permission to carry a transistor radio (ya'll too young to know what that type of radio that is...but my mom would let me carry it to my Elementary school on the last day of school)...and our teacher would let us listen to it in the cafeteria during lunch on our last day...I remember this song coming on and everyone singing to it!!! Good memories!!!! We had so much fun!!!
I have always loved this song-the violins and symphonic backing is wonderful, but that bass guitar riff is what makes this superb.
Your grandparents also listened to great music.
It's nice that it won't be lost thanks to people like you

@@jimwiater2867 He was a singer in more bands than that, TOTP websites show never more than two were featured in any one broadcast.
He was in the Ivy League earlier on (Beatlemania time) and they had a few hits.
70s tunes always puts a smile on anybody's face...feel good music decade....greatest decade for music.
Awwww, this song always makes me think of my Aunt Rosemary - she was such a sweetie ♥️
.My Friend is one of the 3 blondes dancing at The Top of the Pops studios, when they were in Manchester, shaking her stuff around 1:38
I was about ten years old when this came out loved it ever since on my playlist. Love this trip down memory lane damn we had some good tunes growing up.🇬🇧
I think Amber would love the Raspberries "Go all the way"
Agreed
I agree!! Love that song!
I agree. It's a fantastic song.
Love that song. Where were this couple?
Eric Carmen ❤
This one still gets radio play now & then. Such a joyful, playful song. 💕
Just happened across this, I'm 66 now and can still singalong with this song word for word.❤ amazing specially as I don't remember what day of the week it is half the time.🤗
For another new band that you haven't heard, try The Marmalade - "Reflections of my Life."
Edison Lighthouse didn't really have much else besides this, but their singer did.
I love this song from a one hit wonder. It is on all my playlists
Both of these songs are on my “70s favourites” playlist. Along with pretty flamingo, hey girl don’t bother me etc etc. love it!..
Come Together Another classic great song. Thank you.
One of my favorite songs of all time!
That’s a good song, but Tony was busy recording with other bands continuously changing
😀 This takes me back to when we use to argue with parents, over the transistor radios. Us girls listening to our fav songs n parents turn the dial to hear the news 😀. Thank you very much for your reactions. It humbling to know that young people like yuz enjoy these music 👍🙏🌺
I love this song! This was a favorite of my Mom’s as well. Hearing the song makes me Smile and remember My Mom.
Love you guys
Your always spot on!
Thanks from Stratford upon Avon UK
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I've loved it since the first time I heard it.
I was just a baby when this song dropped but I can imagine being a teenager at the time and absolutely loving it. So infectious.
Time to do the greatest one hit wonder of the sixties: “Walk Away Renee” by the Left Banke.
Yes yes yes this one a must review for sure
Love that song!!!!!
The Four Tops covered that one as well.
The Left Banke also scored a #15 hit with "Pretty Ballerina".
I used to always sing that song 😂

I loved growing up in the 60s and 70s. This music was great, and the girls were so pretty.
I'm with Amber...70's pop all the way...Tony Orlando & Dawn..Candida, Middle of the Road....Soley Soley, Pussycat....Mississippi and so many more
Love to see the genuine joy on Amber's face, this song uplifts me too. :)
You just brought me back to my childhood with this song. I used to sing it while walking to school. Love it. Thanks for the memories.
This is my very first musical memory! Together with george harrison 'my sweet lord'.
Edison Lighthouse are an English pop band, formed in London in 1969. The band was best known for their 1970 hit single "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" recorded in late 1969.

Add the Thomas Edison / Lightbulb reference to get the full connection.
Who were the members of the group??
I love this song, have not heard it or thought about it since ......well since 1969 - 70 ish........every morning over the PA at school before class.....it was on the hit list...
Great song to sing along with, back in the day if we were in the car, or at home listening to the radio… When it came on we sang. These are songs you don’t forget.
Oh yes, now yer talking. Loved it in 1971, and I love it now. ❤ (I was 7yo in 1971😱)
Love this song. It's a feel good song

I had this song on a tape cassette when it was a hit. I memorized where it was in the middle of the tape and would pretty much find it exactly at the start of the song and hear it over and over. This was in 1970 if memory serves. So pleased you both are enjoying it. Such a lovely song!
I was a lad of 15 when this came out in 1970. i remember it well, it was all over the radio. For female fridays, please react to another tune that came out around this time, Lay down by Melanie Safka and the Edwin Hawkins singers.The studio version is special.
Melanie is one of the great "hippie chicks" of the late 60's/early 70's. She's still performing and recording. She has an active TH-cam channel.
Love it
Melanie Safka is a great singer. Did Look what they did to my Song Ma with Miley Cyrus, great performance
Watching you both listen to this classic from my younger days left me smiling and crying a little, too. In a good way. Thanks for this! I'll be watching more of your stuff in the future!
Wow, didn't think this would make me cry, but it reminded me of how happy life was back then. I want to go back so much sometimes :-)
I have most of these songs memorized and I can't listen without singing along - they are fun and happy and wonderful songs!
Great reaction! You guys always never disappoint! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Music from back in my day...made y'all smile so big. So groovy. Flippin awesome tune. love to karaoke this one. Blessings !!
This song was also used in the film "Shallow Hal". Another song with a similar vibe is Dionne Warwick's "I Say a Little Prayer for You", which was also featured in the film "My Best Friend's Wedding".
I remember this song from probably when I was pre school age. I suddenly feel like watching “The Bugaloos” or “HR Puffnstuff”.
Thanks for the lovely memory.
This is just a good pop song. I think i was 11-12 when this came out and I can still sing along with the lyrics.
Can't help but smile at this golden oldie
Thank you for playing the soundtrack songs of my youth (60s & 70s).
😊🙏
GOD!! I've haven't heard this song in YEARS!! THANK YOU!!!
This was a genre which targeted youngsters, young teens. It was called "Bubble Gum", because the audience were so young and chewing bubblegum. Other B.G. songs were from groups like "The Archie's", "1910 Fruit gum Company", "The Partridge Family", "Tommy Roe", Ohio Express", etc etc. The majority of which were all one hit wonders. 😎
@B Gallagher Yes I remember, I was there. I became a fan of Andy Kim after The Archie's. 😎
The Cowsills should be reacted too also. The songs Hair, The Rain, the Park and Other things. And the original theme to Love American Style TV show would be fun.
The Partridge Family actually had a lot of hits, esp if you add David Cassidy's solo songs.
@@cathyortiz1280 I didn't say Bubblegum Music didn't have any hits, I was merely making a comment about the Genre that bubblegum is/was. I was a big fan of bubblegum when I was young too, but a person grows and leaves childish ways behind. 🤔😎
@@donjenkins3861 I still like some of it. But I've always liked a wide variety of music, including the various genre's of pop/rock. I loved both The Monkees & Hendrix (who they discovered btw), Archie's & Janis Joplin, Dylan, Doors, CCR, Alice Cooper, Whitney Houston, Green Day, etc. The list is too long. I don't like every song. Even The Beatles had a few I didn't like. But I don't mind a well crafted pop/bubblegum song.
Love love love this song by Edison Lighthouse and absolutely love the voice of Tony Burrows who was the lead singer of this song. This song will never be outdated.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jay/Amber, this was their only hit in the US, #5. Nice sounding song!
The great Tony Burrows. My band does this song, people love it
For more of this singer, check out "Beach Baby" by First Class, and "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man. He was in something like 5 different bands, all one-hit wonders.
Also in the White Plains and Pipkins.
I love your channel, I'm in a chair most of the time, I have scoliosis and a deteriorating spine, which is why I'm in a chair, your video's make me dance in my chair thank you, I love you guys. I'm 63 so I remember all these songs, I love seeing your reactions, you two are so much fun to watch and listen to
Other one-hit wonders from the 70s: "Precious and Few" by Climax; "Brother Louie" by Stories; "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson; "Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur; "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation.
Excellent list!
All need to be reacted to
Chevy Van & Afternoon Delight !😀
I was just thinking about Precious and Few, great suggestion!
The DeFranco Family - Heartbeat, it's a lovebeat. Paperlace -The Night Chicago Died.
Amber is 100% spot on. The 70's had it. ALL. God Bless.
Speaking of Lighthouse 😁 - still waiting for the day you react to them. Fabulous singers and musicians, lots of horns and other instruments. Just a great Canadian 70s band! One Fine Morning, Sunny Days - just a couple of suggestions.
This is one of my favorite walking songs, the beat is exactly the right pace and the song is so upbeat and fun you can’t not get moving and smiling at the same time
I'm with Amber 70's all the way.
I agree with you Amber the 70s can't be beat
