Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Saturday Night at the Oldies: British Invasion ‘Fs’

British InvasionMarianne Faithfull, As Tears Go By.  A lovely tune by a lovely lass in a stock chord progression.  In the key of C: C, Am7, Dm7, G7. 

Freddie and the Dreamers, I'm Telling You Now.  A goofy act, hard on the knees as the boys must be experiencing long about now.

Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, The Game of Love

________________, Groovy Kind of Love.  Still sounds good.  I stopped saying 'groovy' at the end of the '60s.  So why are you Gen-X slackers still saying 'awesome'?

The Fortunes, You've Got Your Troubles, I've Got Mine.  This one holds up well, too.

The Fortunes, Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again

Georgie Fame, Sunny.  Excellent cover of the Bobby Hebb song.  Fame says "A to Zed" which wrecks the rhyme.
