Soulful Sounds Of The Seventies & Early Eighties (Mellow Mellow FM Radio Episode)

Pop, soul and AOR, that’s the smooth sound of the classic FM airwaves. Have fun with this brand new episode of Mellow Mellow FM Radio!

When you hear Bobby Goldsboro sing the lyrics of his song Summer (The First Time), it seems to be about a great sin that's going to happen ('the sun was a demon'). Millie Jackson's interpretion of the track is more about seducing than being seduced. She 's relaxed and in control ('you try not to stare'), while Bobby Goldsboro is shaking like a leaf when the 'first time' is about to begin. Although no one seemed to care at the time, nowadays the lyrics would be considered very inappropriate ('You were 31, I was 17').

Next up is a new part of Grooves From The Crates.
