    The dude on the marimba was Bo Wagner. He had quite a long career. As a child he was on the original Micky Mouse Club a couple of times once as a dancer and once as a drummer. Over his career he appeared on many T.V. shows and was a guest performer with some very famous bands such as the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Spike Jones Band. His list of accomplishments would fill this comment section. A very fascinating fellow.

    Bruce told the story of how this song came to be: it involved a women he met at college who turned him down for a date twice before accepting the third time.
    Bo Wagner rocked on the Marimba (not xylophone) and drove the women crazy with his tap-dancing routine...
    When Bo was ten years old he was a TV guest on the Original Mickey Mouse Club as a featured drummer and tap dancer...He also, in the early 1970's, worked as a studio musician in Los Angeles, appeared on The Lawrence Welk Show for three years and toured with The 5th Dimension, Roger Williams and Liberace.
    I worked for Starbuck's Lighting dude, Larry, and saw them live several times before going to Navy Boot Camp...
    Some memorable gigs were at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton and the Toys For Tots concert at the Omni in Atlanta...
    The guys were all great people...

    It's a marimba solo. Bo Wagner was the soloist and band member. What many didn't know about Bo is that he was an original on the Mickey Mouse Club tv show. Not only was Bo an extremely talented musician, but he could tap dance, dance and do many other things kids and even adults wish they could do. He passed away not too long ago. You'll be hard pressed to EVER hear a pop record with a marimba solo in it and even if you do, it won't compare to this one.

  • @alanmusicman3385
    @alanmusicman3385 2 роки тому +1

    Some records - by design or by chance - were just a glove fit for FM radio airplay. With its 8 bar intro, 3.5 minute running time, conventional structure, sticky as molasses chorus, vocalist with a great radio voice and the unusual (but not unique) instrumentation of the middle break .... this is a classic example. It's an odd fact that such records were often huge hits in the USA, but not in the UK - again, this is an example of that. Despite being very well known in the UK, it has never been in the UK singles top 40.
    There are tons of examples of that - for examples "Long Train Runnin'" (Doobie Brothers - not a hit in 1974, but charted in 1993!), "Sunshine" (Jonathan Edwards), "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd), "Coconut" (Harry Nilsson), "Time of the Season" (The Zombies), "Carry on Wayward Son" (Kansas) - and many, many others. All of these very well known single releases in the UK, but never chart singles.
