Eight weeks after entering the Billboard Hot 100, “Lay A Little Lovin’ On Me” by Robin McNamara peaked at number11.
The follow-up, “Got To Believe In Love” would receive little air play, confining McNamara to one-hit-wonder status.

Michael Nesmith, former The Monkees member formed a band titled The First National Band for which he wrote most of the songs.
The one hit they had was Joanne

When we look back, music has kept us going through the great times and not so great times.
It is escapism at it's core.
Allowing us to reset, to chill out, to reminisce, to hope, to smile, to laugh, to cry, to wonder...

Music has always been in my life, I don't go a day without it. I have an extensive collection... and very eclective tastes

I was told that even as a baby in my cot sound asleep, if a certain song came on the ''wireless' I would stand up, hold onto the rails and shake my boo-Taaay :ROFLMAO:
