      Loved your reaction!
      The title is indeed Sweet City Woman.
      This an oldie but a goodie from here, Calgary, Alberta.👍🇨🇦
      It's pure country pop.
      🎵 Bon. C'est bon.
      Bon-bon, c'est bon-bon. 🎵
      French for,
      "Good. It's good.
      Good-good, it's good-good. 🌞
      Just some fun French thrown in there.
      The best part is they still sound this good!

    Growing up in Canada (Kamloops, British Columbia to be precise - a six-hour drive through the mountains to Calgary, Alberta, The Stampeders' hometown), I heard lots of Stampeders songs on the radio. They weren't as big as The Guess Who, nor did they have as many hits/anthems, but I thought The Stampeders made better albums. Their earlier stuff was more country-rock, and then they changed to a heavier style similar to BTO. Other great songs of theirs include Devil You, Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Julia Get Up, Running Wild, Ramona and an excellent cover of Gary US Bonds' hit New Orleans. They broke up around 1980, but got back together in the early 90s and have been together ever since.

    I was 13 when "Sweet City Woman" was released, all over the radio in 1971; I was obsessed with it. I loved everything about it, the banjo, the vocals, the hopefulness in the lyrics, the guitar solos, the macaroons. I never got tired of it and I never will. There are a few songs like that, not necessarily by my favorite bands, but songs that I've heard for 40 or 50 years, but never tire of. "Maggie May", by Rod Stewart; "All Right Now", by Free; "Closer to Home", by Grand Funk Railroad; "More Than a Feeling", by Boston; "Midnight At the Oasis", by Maria Muldaur; these are all songs that it seem liked they TRIED to make you sick of, by it never did, not for me.

    Back in the day, this was just popular music. This was literally the moment just before the genre-breaking that split out rock, pop, and R&B as separate things, which usually is dated to sometime in 1973. Today, they'd probably be tossed in the country or country-rock folder, and I'd have never heard it. But it was part of the soundtrack of the world when I was 10.

I guess they're a one hit wonder!! See, I was born in the city, so I was a Sweet City Woman, but now I am grown and live out in the country. It feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line! That was such a sweet song. I sort of forgot about it. Love your sweet reaction!
