    I wll remember always that he
    "Let the colored girls sing"



    Walk on the Wild Side
    Lou Reed
    Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
    Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
    Plucked her eyebrows on the way
    Shaved her legs and then he was a she
    She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
    Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
    Candy came from out on the island,
    In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
    But she never lost her head
    Even when she was giving head
    She sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
    Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
    And the colored girls go,
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Little Joe never once gave it away
    Everybody had to pay and pay
    A hustle here and a hustle there
    New York City is the place where they said:
    Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
    I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
    Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
    Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
    Went to the Apollo
    You should have seen him go, go, go
    They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
    I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, alright, huh
    Jackie is just speeding away
    Thought she was James Dean for a day
    Then I guess she had to crash
    Valium would have helped that bash
    She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
    I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
    And the colored girls say
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

    I've always felt that Gabriel's horn must surly be a Sax,
    What a way to awaken the heavens! ":O}

    Thanks for finding this Dan! TBH this one had disappeared from my catalogue. And it was a popular song too.

    It's certainly historically correct. Good point the world didn't begin with us nor will it end without us.

    This didn't come out right.

    It was a milestone song but I stopped being an East Coast person long before it hit the airwaves.

    Never understood why drummers gripped the stick differently with their left hand. It was "fashionable" to do so for many years. And then it wasn't.

    I was greatly relieved to see she has lost weight. Obesity is a terrible thing to have to carry into old age.it compounds every thing.

    The White Album was never a favorite. But New York and Florida can hang themselves should they wish to do so.

    And they are often the smartest person in the band. Rhythm can be extremely divided into smaller parts, they do it best. Or should at any rate.

    It's amazing that we have a few of Robert Johnson's recordings. He's considered to be a master and pioneer of the blues.

    As if you didn't already know that. My bad.
