Some folks think this a load of old disco schmaltz, but whenever I hear it, (and it doesn't get much air time these days,) it always takes me straight back to 1974. I first heard it in WABC (New York) radio station in January of that year when I was staying with a lovely young lady and her family in Noo Joysey. It made it's way to British Radio stations later that year and was popular during the Summer being heard quite often on Radio 2 (BBC). In September 1974, I secured a new job in charge of a newly built 76ft Yawl and began a voyage from Breskens that ended in Seattle the following Spring. This recording was played a lot in the tapas bars in Puerto Banus during our time there from October to December, preparing for the Atlantic crossing in January 1975, and I still have the 45 rpm disc I bought in Marbella. The lovely young ladyand I drifted apart, but the happy memories of those days will stay with me.
