oops! Today was Freda Payne's 82nd birthday and I have to hear that song again.

"Band Of Gold" is one of those hits that burn hot and fast like flash paper.
We soon forget all about it until we're reminded on occasion. This is that occasion.

For the naysayers, you try singing a three minute song that puts your kids through college. haha

1. I had that 45 when I was 14

But I never understood why the new bride was alone on her wedding night. Was the husband passed out drunk, gay, or in another relationship?

3. Having reviewed the lyrics, all I can say is -

- it is left up to our, ahem, fertile imaginations.

4. He had trouble performing

6. "It's not you, it's me"

"Don't worry honey, I won't tell anyone". "Want to hear my new song?"

2. Great song

[NBachers]

5. It's one of those songs where the vocals and the music all work just right together. I never got tired of Band of Gold.

It was always welcome on my car radio!

7. The guys who wrote it knew they had something.

What was missing was Freda's disco voice at just the right time.
