The Songs of Summer

My family left Detroit for a short two-year stint in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley in 1972 and 1973. Several songs from that period stick in my "remembory"...Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) by Lookng Glass, Alone Again by Gilbert O'Sullivan, Fool's Paradise by the Sylvers, Go All The Way by the Raspberries...

Yet it is this lost gem that most vividly recalls those days in Sun Valley, California. The act is a duo out of the Netherlands whose sole appearance in the Top 40 took this pop diddy to # 8 in July of 1972.

"How Do You Do" by Mouth and MacNeal
