I love the Fifth Dimension's version of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In. I also really liked Evelyn Champagne King but this remake.... It takes away all of the mysticism associated with the original song(s). I had no idea she even recorded it! How about a REMIX of the original??
We have an absolute summer classic here in casa Singleton, but we've changed the lyrics a bit to give it an even more summery vibe:
Sun Goddess by EWF. We sing Verdejo (pronounced with a J not a ch after a Dutch waiter who didn't know how to pronounce it properly). While sipping an ice cold verdejo, obviously.
Thank you so much for the shout-out and signal boost. This was fantastic, Pe! It may seem light-hearted to you, but trust me, I've enjoyed and learned so much reading this. Fantastic tracks. My absolute favourite of this selection was Sunshine Hotel. The vocals!! I loved those claps and the soulful vibes as well, but his gritty vocals steal the show 👏🏻 The vocals on Take It to the Zoo also impressed me. Is it one of Donna Summer's background vocalists on lead? Whoever it is, she's really good. Plus, that Friday feeling is hard to beat!
I came to a dead end trying to research Aura Borealis. Quite a backstory though!
Some things are destined to remain a mystery my dear Ken 😁
