Oh dear!
What are you listening to now? Page 1,148
Johnnie Walker's Sounds of the 70s, and he happened to play one of the soppiest, most schmaltzy, gut wrenching load of drivel ever recorded:-
Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" (Apparently she says her name is not pronounced Win-et, but Whine ett - how apt!)
Featured in the Blues Brothers film as well, of course.
The sobbing broken voice throughout just makes me laugh as I think of Milligan's piss-take of C & W and performed here by The Goons:-

Enjoyed all the recent contributions. I just caught up with this one JohnnyD. It's fascinating - and very affecting. There are obviously some key years in rock music - 1955-56, 1967, 1977 - and those of us who were quite involved in 1989 tend to talk that one up too. But I have always sensed that the 1970-1 period going into 1972 was seriously underrated. Often viewed as a lull, it has a distinct mystery all of its own.
In more practical terms, there is also a hell of a lot of "stuff" from that time - far more than is immediately obvious which is good as it still means new discoveries. But I wonder now if the number of records being released suddenly increased during those years and I may well try to check on the figures to find out.
Anyhow, thanks for another interesting piece.
