We will though all remember Beautiful People, Ruby Tuesday.. skip over Brand New Key or its number one UK pastiche Brand New Combine Harvester... Look what they've done to my song Ma/The nickel song (covered by the New Seekers), is a wonderful rollicker. Another year, another name of the golden days of crossover pop folk and rock, bites the dust. |
