I requested a one-hit wonder a few days ago by an actor who recently passed away, David Soul, and the song is "Don't give up on us, Baby" ! The song is from the late 70's, and I think Amber will love it since she loves soft rock from the 70's. Just thought I'd request it again. The actor was part of a crime fighting duo named Starsky and Hutch, it was very popular during the 2nd half of the 70's! Just some fun facts about the show. Great action scenes, and great car!

Before Starsky and Hutch he played Joshua Bolt, the middle brother on Here Come The Brides. Bobby Sherman , who played the youngest brother, Jeremy, was also a heartthrob in the late sixties and early seventies. My sister had at least one of his albums. I was three years younger and David Cassidy was my first big crush.

This is so cleverly written, because while usually in a "break-up" song the singer is either begging the other person to stay, or is telling the other person they will regret leaving and that the singer will be fine so it doesn't matter to them. In this case, he is saying it doesn't matter to him if the other person leaves because he wants her to be happy. He also says it doesn't matter to him if she comes back, because he'll be there waiting for her. It's obvious to me that it DOES matter to him and the title lyric is a kind of defense mechanism to play it cool. He intends to wait forever for her, though he thinks (hopes) he won't need to. It actually matters A LOT to him.

****THIS IS THE ONE**** I've mentioned this before, but since you asked for LITTLE RIVER BAND songs, this is absolutely the one you need to listen to. The LONG version of "It's a long way there". About 8 minutes and 40 seconds long. There is a shorter "radio" version, but you'll be cheating yourself if you don't do the longer one (you'll miss some fantastic mellow guitar work). I promise that when it's over, you will think it's only been 4 or 5 minutes. FANTASTIC!!!! As for Bread songs, there are many. I was a senior in HS when this son (It don't matter to me) was released - I remember it well. Another song with the same vibe and sweetness that folks never seem to mention (or react to) is "Sweet Surrender a short song, but beautiful and with the same sort of fantastic guitar solo (short) as Amber liked in this song.

He was holding the tempo for the rest of the band to float on. You really need to react to Mother Freedom and Truckin' Down the Highway. And for The Hollies, Long Cool Woman. That one is a rocker!

Thank you so very much for reacting to this song! Way, way, WAYYY back in 1969...my then-girlfriend and I thought we were in love. My parents and her parents knew each other and they all thought that we were simply too young to handle what might happen (I was 17, she was 16). So, they all sat down with us and pretty much required us to "cool our jets" for 3 months. Then this song came out as we had our last date night for the 3 months. Sadly, she eloped with some other guy shortly thereafter....then I realized how smart my parents were!! So, for me, it's sort of a sad memory that turned out just fine in the end. Isn't it amazing what memories a simple music reaction brings up?
