    Louis Charles B.W. Stevenson (the B.W. stood for Buckwheat). Great song. When it came out the radio stations kids listened to didn't much care what "genre" a song fit in. If it was catchy, they played it. I read that this is now considered "progressive country" or "country rock". You reacted to McArthur Park, and they played that on the same station where we heard the Beatles and the Beach Boys and Roy Orbison, along with B.W. Stevenson. Thanks for another great reaction to a great song!

      Jim Gordon was a great session drummer in the 60's and 70's, played on nearly every hit song, just amazing drummer. However, his life spiraled out of control due to mental illness, and he murdered his mother and spent the rest of his life in a prison medical ward. Gordon was also the drummer in the band Derek and the Dominos.

I sang this song competitively, and took it to state placing 3rd at the state competition. The Brooks & Dunn version changed very little of BW's arrangement due to how perfect this arrangement is.
