The first song I remember hearing
I used to sit and watch westerns with my grandfather. He had a record player next to a little cocktail bar, with a seven-inch of Wand’rin’ Star by Lee Marvin from Paint Your Wagon on one side and I Talk to the Trees by Clint Eastwood on the other. Neither could sing, but both are fantastic.
The first single I bought
Jack and Jill by Raydio, sung by Ray Parker Jr, who went on to sing Ghostbusters. There are funny lines about Jack wandering down the hill to get the love he couldn’t get from Jill because she was neglecting him, which is so not of this moment, but very 70s.
