How about "Freedom Comes, Freedom Goes", which I believe was their follow up to this smash hit. I never noticed until years later that the song was about a girl named Freedom - my Jr. High School Civics teacher in '71, Mr. Hall, used to play it and somehow relate song lyrics to political issues of the day so I guess I took it as a song about political freedom and not a girl!! Thanks. Mr. Hall for playing all the great tunes of the day in your classroom! Video of the song here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4aXh3udidGUgcU

Summer of '71 is when I started to get into music. Loved this upbeat song. Didn't realize until later it was about a breakup. When you are a pre-teen, you like the sound and never really pay attention to the lyrics. This was a sort-of comeback hit for them. They were part of the original British invasion. They had just a couple of hits in 1965, "You've Got Your Troubles' and "Here It Comes Again". Great hearing this song again! Speaking of summer of '71, how about reacting to Three Dog Night's "Liar".

Wow, have the Stars aligned? I just sent you folks an e-mail earlier today (something I've only done once before a few years ago). Any way, I was suggesting you get studio session singer 'Tony Burrows' for your 'With the Creators' segments. Tony was best known for working with 'The Rogers' (Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook). They wrote this song and 'Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress' as well as many others. I thank "The Professor of Rock" for his awesome video on him. Tony had 5, yes that's right 5 'One Hit Wonders' each with a different band. I think 3 were on the chart at the same time! They were ... 'Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes' (1970) 'First Class - Beach Baby' (1974) 'White Plains' - My Baby Loves Lovin' (1970) 'Brotherhood of Man - United We Stand' (1970) All great songs by the same singer, Tony is a true legend.

The reason the song sounds so upbeat is that, even though the guy has just gotten dumped by his girlfriend, he doesn't want anyone to know.

The Fortunes had a number of straight-down-the-middle pop hits from the mid 1960s onward - all of them with a great orchestral backing. The only exception being "The Idol" which was a lot more edgy (for 1967) and had a rather heavier guitar-band sound as it mocked the pop-star concept. But "Rainy Day Feeling" is very much in the mould of their biggest hits. In fact, there's a lot of 1960s and 1970s pop royalty behind this record. This was co-written by Roger Cooke and Roger Greenaway and Tony Macaulay. The two Rogers produced it. They had 1960s hit records of their own in various guises - as a duo - for example "Lovers of the World Unite" using the duo name David and Jonathan. They wrote the original (and adaptated version) of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" which was used globally as a Coca-Cola TV ad in the early 1970s. Roger Cook was also lead singer and producer of the successful 70s band Blue Mink who had hits with songs like "Melting Pot", "Banner Man", "Stay With me" , "By the Devil I was Tempted" and others. Roger Cook wrote and produced the classic "Isn't it Good to Know" jingle set for London's Capital Radio. Cook also was co-writer on hits for people like country music star Don Williams ("Love is on a Roll" and others) Roger Greenaway was one half of novelty group The Pipkins ("Gimme Dat Ding") and the duo co-wrote dozens of other hits for people like Cliff Richard, Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon, and Greenaway co-wrote The Hollies biggest US hit ""Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" Tony Macaulay's songwriting career encompasses things like co-writing the hits of UK soul band The Foundations ("Build me Up Buttercup", "Baby, Now That I've Found You" etc). He co-wrote "Love Grows (Where my Rosemary Goes)" which was a major hit for Edison Lighthouse in 1970, he co-wrote "Sorry Suzanne" for the Hollies, "Silver Lady" for David Soul - and dozens of other hits for well known artists such as Andy Williams and many more.
