The 1972 Song Draft ... (23 Viewers)
- Thread starter Nigel Tufnel
- Start date
Does anyone know the story behind this song? Why does Stevie have some unidentified singers open the song, only to disappear as soon as he starts singing?6.09 Stevie Wonder---You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
I don't draft many ballads, but I love this song---I played this to my 9 year old daughter as I drove her home after a lengthy hospital stay for spinal surgery---scary stuff.
I know, I knowI don't care.

Identified by allmusic: It's unusual in that the first vocals heard are not those of Wonder, but those of singers Jim Gilstrap ( "Swing Your Daddy") and Gloria Barley.Does anyone know the story behind this song?

Can I pick? In the chamber?

It looks to me like Print, pat, and Doug are in the chamber. If Doug picks, wildbill will take his place. After wildbill picks, you'll be in the chamber ... that is, if I understand all of this #### correctly.

Simey has my picks........ good night.

I never knew they did that song until I bought their latest GH. I thought it might have been CS+N. Nice song, really fits the era.
It was my next pickI saw the same thing. "They Only Come Out At Night" album was released in very late '72, but "Frankenstein" charted in March 1973, hitting #1 in May 1973. This pick really pushes the envelope, but I guess it has to be counted since it's been so long.They Only Come Out At NightMan, I even looked this song up on a certain site and it said '73; then, when I saw you picked it, I looked it up again, on another site, and it said '72.

My man! I know this board is rock-oriented (though lots of "other" music has been going in this draft
), but I'm shocked that "Back Stabbers" lasted this long. One of my all-time faves, this song has a great piano opening that just oozes paranoia & dread. The lead vocals - as with just about any O'Jays record - are fantastic on the verses. And the chorus has an almost-speaking-in-tongues sound:They smile in your face.........allthetimetheywannatakeyourplace (sung as if it's all one word)
Philly soul at, IMO its finest - my only gripe being that the song is too short; there should be another verse

Hey Uruk, you should really try to get in one of these drafts. You'd be a solid addition with your knowledge base.My man! I know this board is rock-oriented (though lots of "other" music has been going in this draft

I would have loved to, zam (esp. the '69 & '72 drafts), but my days get so whacky that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up. Maybe the next old-timers draft.......Is there a schedule of upcoming years?Hey Uruk, you should really try to get in one of these drafts. You'd be a solid addition with your knowledge base.My man!

You don't have to be around - PMing songs works just as well.

I think the next one is going to be early 90s. After that TBD.Interesting tidbit from "This Day In Music"....
On this date in 1963, just months before they hit the big time in England, the Rolling Stones played a gig in a British hotel. They were paid $41.00. That's total, not per man. The audience consisted of 66 people.
Today's birthdays:
Paul Jones (lead singer, Manfred Mann)
Rupert Holmes (Pina Colada song)
and
Michelle Shocked

A late '70's "height of Disco" draft would be fun too. Kind of a Studio 54 vibe.:linegreenpolyesterleisuresuit:You don't have to be around - PMing songs works just as well.

That would work, although I was thinking more like '75 to split the difference between '72 and '79 that we've done.'77, perhaps?A late '70's "height of Disco" draft would be fun too.

I've gone to great lengths to keep those pictures from everyone I know. You have a better chance of me posting nude pictures of my wife than ever seeing any pictures of me with acne and an afro.In 1977, I was in 7th grade and I had an afro. It was a perm.
There's still a touch of resentment towards my mom because of it.
That's pretty close. I was called Harpo more than once, I'll tell ya.Gotcha - more of a William Kaat thing (circa Carrie timeframe).Close, but skinnier and with blonde hair. :(Junior?In 1977, I was in 7th grade and I had an afro. It was a perm.
