Friday On My Mind 25: Reflections Of My Life
Posted in 1960s, Friday On My Mind, Music at 14:00 on 24 September 2010
According to the sleeve notes on a collection tape I looked at once, this song was the single most played track on US FM radio during the last quarter of the twentieth century.
Not a Beatles tune, not one from the Stones, not even an effort by a US band but instead the accolade goes to a bunch of boys from Glasgow.
I have featured Marmalade (as they became) before; to brighten up my post on the demise of the name Norman.
This is probably the best song they ever did.
