We Love Our Music

[OldSchool]

Best 'feel good' song ever: ?



I joke, kinda. Queen doesn't rate very high on my list of cool bands. But.... they've certainly done alight.

I wouldn't have posted that Queen song if it wasn't playing on radio while I's checking out an old stereo receiver that's kind of impressive, and while I'm messing around here.

And on that note; I was somehow reminded of this song and when my Mom cranked it on the radio when I was youngster and she was driving a really cool '72 Oldsmobile Cutlass.



That made me think she's as crazy as the rest of human race.

Bread’s breakthrough hit was written by singer David Gates, who also performed acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, and strings on the record, with only drummer Mike Botts also featuring.

When the song was released, Gates’ mother was asked by a local interviewer how her son’s music career was going. Misunderstanding the song’s title, she replied that his group had just recorded a song called ‘Naked with You’.

This was the song that brought Chicago to a truly mainstream audience, reaching the top spot in the UK and US in 1976.

It remains one of the best break-up ballads of all time, and surprisingly doesn't actually contain a traditional chorus.
