RECORDED AT CHEROKEE STUDIOS, HOLLYWOOD AND VARIOUS OTHERS FROM "THE GREAT LOST TWILLEY ALBUM" SHELTER RECORDS. Dwight Twilley: "IT'S IRONIC HOW A SONG CAN TAKE ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN. IN THE BEGINNING, I THOUGHT OF THIS AS MY OWN PERSONAL PROJECT. I REMEMBER LITERALLY CARRYING THE 24 TRACK MASTER UNDER MY ARM TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT STUDIOS, PUTTING A BASS ON HERE AND A VOCAL ON THERE. BY THE TIME IT WAS FINISHED, IT APPEARED THAT EVERY ONE AND THEIR PARAKEET HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THE RECORD. EVEN AFTER IT HAD BEEN RELEASED BY ARISTA AS A 12" SINGLE, SEVERAL YEARS LATER IT WAS RELEASED AGAIN AS A SINGLE BY EMI. FOR THE EMI VERSION, AN ADDITIONAL VERSE WAS ADDED AND THE LIST OF NAMES ASSOCIATED WITH MY PERSONAL PROJECT GREW EVEN LONGER. IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH JERRY NAIFEH, ANOTHER TULSAN WHO HAD PLAYED WITH BILL AND I IN ONE OF OUR EARLY BANDS, 1950. JERRY GARNERED THE DISTINCTION OF BEING THE ONLY DRUMMER PHIL ALLOWED TO TAKE HIS PLACE ON A TWILLEY BAND RECORD. WITH THE INTENSITY AND ENERGY FOR A SONG LIKE TV, AND THE SENSITIVITY REQUIRED FOR SOMEBODY TO LOVE, JERRY WAS A MUST FOR MY LIVE SHOW." | | Appears On | |
