Grocery Store Favorites: How Much I Feel

It pains me to list this as a Grocery Store Favorite, because this song is my jam.

Ambrosia took on several incarnations, this one obviously being the most successful. This tune was their biggest hit, reaching #3 on the Billboard chart in 1978. They would follow up with "Biggest Part of Me" and "You're The Only Woman (You and I)," both in 1980.

All three hits qualify as Grocery Store Favorites, which is a real shame, because they are some great examples of Blue-Eyed Soul.



I suddenly have an urge to order a half pound of pastrami, shaved thin.

2012!

Do a little dance
Make a little love
Get down tonight
Get down tonight

You said it, K.C. Happy 2012, everybody!



My resolution for this blog: 37% more Funky Soul Brothers this year!

From 1974: Laughter In The Rain

From The Midnight Special in 1974, with the legendary Russ Kunkel on drums!

This was one of my favorite songs to sing as a little girl, and it reminds me of playing nearby as my mother ironed and listened to WASK-AM in Lafayette, Indiana.

Even as a five year old, I had no problem hitting the lower notes...in fact, this song is and continues to be right in my natural singing range.
