Song(s) of the Day # 652 Johnny Rivers


Very much of its time. The theme tune of the American TV series of the same. Fully capitalising on the fascination for espionage and the Cold War of the period. Song still holds up very well.

Here Johnny Rivers is again three years later with a fine, melancholic pop song in the Jim Webb vein that references Sgt. Pepper in its lyrics and fade out, Rivers hasn't really got a great voice, but he does have a nicely wistful tone which hits the spot on a misty Monday morning as I prepare myself for work. From his album Realization which I'll post another song from next.
