Staying with Carol King, she wrote a sombre song which was recorded in the UK by Dusty Springfield, basically about turning the clock back to your youth. This is Carol's version, which I prefer, although many artist have recorded it.
Did you see Wonder if he still has as he married a lass called Joanne about40 years ago? Still together.
Did you see that programme on Sky Arts last week? Unfortunately nearly all talk and reminiscing rather than music.Butbobe bloke running it said ask anyone there at the time their most memorable performances and it was Them. Quite a thing consideringbwho played there. There were some photos no film unfortunately, of Jim Morrison jamming on stage with Van Morrison to Gloria. Always liked Van Morrison since I first heard Them. Astral Weeks and Moondance still 2 of my favourite albums 50 years later. Anyway, a less familiar Them number than Gloria.
The mutual friend mentioned here was Snips. 'On Friday 19 April 1991, Marriott and Poulton[ flew home from the United States, where Marriott had recorded songs for a future album with Frampton. During the flight, according to Poulton, Marriott was drinking heavily, was in a foul mood, and the two argued constantly. After arriving in the UK, a mutual friend met them and they all went to one of Marriott's favourite restaurants, The Straw Hat, in the town of Sawbridgeworth for dinner, where he consumed more alcohol. After dinner, they returned to their friend's house and decided to stay overnight, since it was late, but upstairs in bed, Marriott and Poulton continued to argue. Poulton finally fell asleep and later woke to discover that Marriott had taken a taxi to his home in the nearby village of Arkesden. At about 6:30 am on 20 April, a passing motorist saw the roof of Marriott's cottage ablaze and called the fire brigade. It was reported that four fire engines were needed to put out the fire'
