Singles Released This Week Years Ago

 

From time to time I go online just to see what has happened musically on that day in the past. It's always amusing to see which basically unimportant events are mentioned on various sites. What makes it interesting for me is that albums or songs are mentioned that were released on a certain day. I'm often reminded to listen to them again or what memories I have of them. Here are some songs that were released years ago this week, with no direct connection between them. We'll see if this becomes a series.

Loggins and Messina were an American country-pop duo and became famous in the early-mid seventies with some great songs. I own only their live album On Stage from 1974 where this song is from. It shows how good the Westcoast sound could be in these days.

Joan Armatrading was in the early eighties one of the best opportunities to new wave and independent music. Blessed with a great voice and well arranged songs she had her time rightly.

The Small Faces were ace and still the best mod band in the sixties.

Rockabilly returned with The Stray Cats and Dave Edmunds at the controls. The sound of this summer.

In 1981 Talking Heads released Remain In Light one of the best albums this year and this song is still great.
