Day 15: A song that never fails to make you happy

"Afterglow (Of Your Love)" - Small Faces (#36 UK, #19 NL 1969)

Where Kenney proves he can drum as crazy as he wants to, Roger. 😠

Always the single version with the fake fadeout. 😊

Day 15: A song that never fails to make you happy

Anneke Grönloh - Cimeroni
b-side to her 1963 single "Niets Ter Wereld Kan Ons Scheiden", but the hit instead...

I was a fan of this Dutch singer and this song still brings me happy memories...

Basically their version of Chuck Berry's "Thirty Days"...

Answers on a postcard, please...

My year: 1961

Day 14: "Forty Days" - Cliff Richard & The Shadows (#8 NL)

When he remembered he could rock 'n' roll, thanks to gentle prodding by Hank & the boys. A Dutch hit only, interestingly.

Day 14: 1990-1991

"Candy" - Iggy Pop with Kate Pierson (#28 US, #67 UK, #4 NL)

I'd never heard this until about 10 years ago, years after I moved to the Netherlands, where it was a huge hit.

Day 14: A song with a type of weather in the title

Leon de Graaff - Pittsburgh In The Rain
not the b-side, but the a-side of this 1971 single by a guy, who worked in one of our local record stores in my hometown of Haarlem [NL].
Made us proud...

Day 13: Another favourite song

"Desperado" - Alice Cooper (1971)

I usually think my 12-year-old tastes were silly. Then I hear a song like this & think...wow! The Alice Cooper/Michael Bruce songwriting team were dreadfully underrated.

"I Go Blind" - 54-40

The original, Hootie & the Blowfish fans.

Pioneers from the Golden Age of 90s CanCon along with the Hip. Their name, from a US slogan "54-40 or fight," the last time they tried to annex Canada.
