If most people remember Paul Cotton at all, it is for "Heart Of The Night" from 1978's Legend album. Paul was a fine songwriter and guitarist. For my money he was, for a 15 year stretch, the world's finest singer. It's a shame that so few people appreciated him during his life. RIP Paul Cotton. You will be missed.
@Jeff Campbell Growing up in Illinois - I was aware of Paul Cotton from the Illinois Speed Press. That was the first I heard his Bad Weather song. It's here os UA-cam - check it out.
@@JeffMcCalib Rolling Stone is more of a political magazine than a music mag. They have the Bee Gees down at the 99th greatest group when the stats say otherwise! Like Barry Gibb, is the second most successful songwriter in music history, 3rd in the Billboard Hot 100 & 5 hits in the top 10 simultaneously, in the Spring of “78” I guess Rolling Stone forgot that, bunch of dweebs!
Paul Cotton was such an underrated song writer. It's sad he didn't get more recognition. Bad Weather, Ride The Country, Early Times, Rose of Cimmeron - the list is endless.
Favorites of mine that Cotton wrote for Poco albums: Bad Weather, Ride The Country, Indian Summer, Living In The Band, Barbados, Heart Of The Night, Boomerang, Midnight Rodeo, Under The Gun, Friends In The Distance, Down To The Wire, Midnight Rain, How Will You Feel Tonight, Break Of Hearts, Special Care, Days Gone By, Down On The River Again, Sometimes We Are All We Have, Running Horse, Every Time I Hear That Train. Some from his solo albums: Firebird, Across A Painted Sky (with Young), Don't Stop The Carnival, Santiva, Woman With A Broken Heart ........
Always was one of my favorites too.. I did this in my acoustic act, with my ex- wife back in the day.. i have my cover of it on my channel now.. Always loved this song so much.. The whole album was great.
Isn't Paul Cotton just wonderful on his lead guitar and has a voice like no other!! Love Timothy B. Schmidt voice harmony and base guitar are awesome. Love Poco whether certain ones go back and forth to the Eagles. There would be no Eagles without Poco I've come to realize this! Kimie Girl:)
Wow! what an awesome song love Paul Cottons sultry superb lead vocals and his gift with that rockin' guitar, harmony from heaven! And look everybody is playing an instrument. Kimie :)
Poco has been through several permutations. Started out as Richie Furay's band. When he left after Crazy Eyes, Paul Cotton stepped up as the main songwriter and Tim Schmit as the co-lead vocalist up until Rusty wrote Rose Of Cimarron. I don't think anyone saw the Rusty Young version coming, but he ended up writing and/or singing the hits Crazy Love and Call It Love not to mention a ton of great album tracks. All from a steel guitar/dobro/banjo specialist.
Rusty’s Steel plus the “ Na Na Na Na” Chorus. Are the definitive sound of this great song, but Paul’s very atmospheric lyrics paint the lonely cowboy picture. ( Course, then there’s Tim’s & George’s bground vocals) RIP Rusty Young
+Glen Carta Check the last round up. Its it on sale and the last album made by this foursome. It's great. Later POCO went on to make other great albums but the magic.......was here
Luckily I got to see them do this song live in concert once. It was just great.. I have always done this one in my own acoustic show. Just recently posted my cover rendition of it on here.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER PANASONIC THUMPERS? WE USED TO PLAY THIS AND THE SPEAKERS WOULD BE VIBRATING UP OFF THE FLOOR AND THE WINDOWS IN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE SHAKING ✌💖😂🌹😎
Super great sounding Angel - Poco (LIVE 1976) ! I'm only an amateur guitar player who looking for the real friends, band mates to my band project for get the band plays professional! All the best for everybody! Assa!
Poco always had great harmonies, especially when George was well. The thing that I always find strange is that Rusty has such a good voice yet chose not to sing, even harmonies, before Tim left. The only other band who comes close in the harmony stakes are The Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
I got to hear Rusty sing those harmonies when they did a three founding members acoustic Poco show in Chattanooga once.. And it was cool that after the show, my son and I got to sit with them and talk for about 30 minutes straight!

Yeah. Been a month and nothing at Rolling Stone on his life.
Oh God yes he will be missed
Miss the late and great Paul

The greatness of Paul Cotton!! Great guitarist and vocalist who played with such soul and grace. RIP Paul.

Yeah. All true, except for Rose of Cimarron...written by Rusty Young.
He still is rockin it. I love his musicianship
And a great guitarist
True, and it was Peter Cetera who recommended him to Poco when Jimmy left. One correction: Rusty wrote Rose of Cimarron as Jeff mentioned.

poco is one of the best group harmonies ive ever heard
So true!! They rarely get recognized for their harmonic brilliance!!! Take care saxon street. Good health to you!!
WITH CSN&Y
Love this! Really takes me back to the 70s. The harmonies and the TBS bass line ...awesome!
Extremely underrated group.Me and a friend would listen to this so high it felt like we were gonna sail into the sky.Back in early 70s
Poco "Seven" is one of the best albums EVER!!!!!
Always was one of my favorites too.. I did this in my acoustic act, with my ex- wife back in the day.. i have my cover of it on my channel now.. Always loved this song so much.. The whole album was great.
My favorite album of all time. Love Poco!!!!!!
great band. harmonies so tight.
Fell in love with Poco listening to this album in 1976. Been an fan ever since.

Bass not base
I've known that for YEARS ! POCO eagles MUSE !
ONE OF THE BEST BASS LINES I'VE EVER HEARD, 🤗✌🤘👍💖🌹😎
It's a sin they are not in the RHOF. Paul's sound is the best. This song takes you to heaven and back.
Wow! what an awesome song love Paul Cottons sultry superb lead vocals and his gift with that rockin' guitar, harmony from heaven! And look everybody is playing an instrument. Kimie :)
These guys had so many great albums It's hard to pick a favorite, They're one of the top ten's greatest of all time, no doubt!
Oh Yes I Agree 100 With you on That😊😊😊
seven...
@@idw9159 Seven, Cantamos and Legend!
We used to play several Poco songs back in the late 70's and early 80's. Crowds loved the Poco songs we did. One of my favorite groups.
Very few people know that George Grantham sang higher than Tim and played drums thats purdy hard.
George was a great drummer .
George was the drummer on Neil Young’s first solo album.
TBS- to me is the best male vocalist ever
na na na na na na na,'clat', whoa oh oh.......just goes on forever in my head, follows me through the day. Joy!
Best track on the Album !
Love love love this song! And Poco, TBS and the Eagles and their massive hit after hit songs, truly got me through my very stressful teenaged years!
Very good music, thanks for sharing...
My favorite ....

Thank you very much for this version ,
Simplesmente maravilhoso! POCO IS WONDERFULL
This was track 5 off their live album recorded in November 1974 ( release date April 1976)
written and sang by Paul Cotton.
Rusty’s Steel plus the “ Na Na Na Na” Chorus. Are the definitive sound of this great song, but Paul’s very atmospheric lyrics paint the lonely cowboy picture. ( Course, then there’s Tim’s & George’s bground vocals) RIP Rusty Young

I hear shades of CSNY,Any one else 😎🤔✌🤘💖
CSNY was always stealing Poco's ideas. Eagles too!
can someone upload the entire live album please?
vinyl record published the entire 39 minute album on youtube on October 15,
2017.

@@robertbridges4686 And I live in the most isolated capital city on Earth lol!
@@robertbridges4686 The Ozark Mtn. Daredevils are the most overlooked group in music!
The drumming at the end of this always-ALWAYS pisses me off! Slow down buddy!! This song is a KICK ASS THUMPER!! Playing too damn fast :0
