EVERY time I hear this song , it brings me back to how the 70's felt, smelled, looked like, and what the world was like for a child back then. The MTM show must've been on around my bedtime, I remember hearing the theme song from my bedroom while my parents were watching it in the living room. I remember falling asleep to this song a few times and just loving it! I have it in my playlist and listen to it in my car when I feel like being nostalgic. As many times as I listen, Ii can always get that feeling back. Thank you Sonny Curtis for creating a song that brings me back every time!

When I saw the 45, I, instantly, recognise the name. When I played the song, I couldn't believe it was the same singer. He sounded SO different. Instantly, though, loved THAT song, also.

I came across Mr Curtis in a London club in the 70's. The Crickets were the guest band. It was early afternoon in the club which was empty at the time and I spotted a solitary figure stood at the bar. It was Sonny Curtis. I was allowed in the club at any time being a friend of the resident band. I could hardly miss an opportunity to meet a musical legend so I sidled up to him and said hello. I gushed like an adolescent schoolgirl saying how much I enjoyed his music and telling him he was a musical legend and a founder member of rock and roll along with Buddy Holly and it was a pleasure to meet him...He completely blanked me and turned away. It taught me a hard lesson though, never meet your heroes, it's likely to disappoint.
