This album deserved FAR more recognition than it received when it was first released in 1977. I don’t know if United Artists dropped the ball or what. That said, it was an absolutely stellar collection of songs from start to finish. Yes, it DOES remind me of what FANNY might have sounded like if they had stayed together. The production was excellent, and June & Jean were at the top of their game when it came to songwriting, singing & playing. Glad to see that FINALLY folks are getting to hear how good it sounds NOW...
Hi Joanne, just saw your note, thank you. Yes, UA totally dropped the ball. Not only that, they dropped us!! (the entire company was bought by EMI, and just about everyone was canned). Terrible thing was, we were so invested in going out and representing it, and had ben rehearsing for about a month in Woodstock, with a pretty big band. I was hard to recover from the disappointment, and they sent us a bill for about $85,000 too! In that sense being with a record company can be such a downer, because they can drop you anytime. A number of lives were adversely affected ... totally reprehinsible act, and we were so totally helpless. Anyway, glad you still like, and it was a step away from Fanny ... many stories about the production (I produced with the great Tom Sellers), and they will be in my next book:)) xx
@@JuneEsWorld In the late 70's I would get anything and everything Fanny related, and I became addicted to this album. And this song made a permanent mark on my heart. Thanks to the internet, we are no longer at the mercy of radio, TV, and record stores. It's easier to find and spread the word about good music. I think that's why streaming services report high popularity of older artists.
Just wanted to let you know that Jean had a stroke and needs support for her recovery .. if you can help, please go to www.gofundme.com/jean-millington-go If you do make a donation, please include a note! That is so helpful, too. THANKS! xx
I'm dying ! it's too much... So cool !
This song is very airy and I like the way it floats with a groove.
