Elevator music is now 80s and 90s ballads. Unless someone is daring and goes to 40s/50s crooning music. But maybe some daring souls will use it for that.
What an interesting concept album! Can you imagine anyone attempting a vaudeville album today?! I remember liking this song when it was released along with the album's other two big hits "Say Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose" and "Who's in the Strawberry Patch with Sally?" The group was really on a roll having commercial success with a sound so outside of what we think about 1970s music today!
I can imagine some people attempting a vaudeville album. I can't imagine anyone being commercially successful with it. That's a part of why I love the music of the 70s and 80s. So much experimentation and mixing of genres.
Did you know Tony Orlando was an early-'60s Brill Building songwriter before Clive Davis gave him an exec-type job at CBS' publishing arm in the late-'60s? What an amazing career....even before the Dawn years!
"It’s sad how all these easy-listening songs have disappeared. What will happen to them when my generation is gone?"
