Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald

That's the right riff but what the hell key is that
So the song is FIRE by Pointer Sisters Written by the The Boss
It was originally written for Elvis, he's a huge Elvis Fan
So legend has it, he mailed Elvis the demo, and Elvis died before it ever got there.
Pointer Sisters ended up doing it and it became a mega hit reaching #2.
Bruce in the early days didnt want to be know for a hit song, he was making his hay live and with albums, so if he thought a song might be a hit, hed give it away.
not many people would do that.
Songs like Blinded By The Light became a world beater classic, for Manfred Mann, which they took to a whole nother level. still one of the best songs on radio.
He wrote Because the Night, same fear it might be a hit, he gave it to Patty Smith, who had a hit with it, and later the b52's did it.
He wrote protection for Donna Summer, and alot of smaller hits in the 70's
When these artists were making more money than he was at his own songs, his manager said enough is enough your not giving any more songs away.
His rare top hit was Hungry Heart he nearly gave to the ramones... manager said no.
This song was released in 1983 by a band popular on MTV at the time. Two members of the band wrote the song. Hint: one of the songwriters died this week. And his name is in the title of the band.
Thanks JAPOV. Weird Al! “I Lost On Jeopardy” parody is great. Greg Kihn in an interview said he loved the parody by Weird Al and he still got royalty checks from it. Kihn passed away Tuesday. His co-writer Steve Wright died in 2017.

Considering the Kinks were banned from touring the U.S. by the American Federation of Musicians (who issued live play permits) for four years ending in 1969, they did exceptionally well. Their manager in 1963 tried to promote them before the Stones got popular, but the Kinks had issues you might say… . Their main songwriter Ray Davies played in a band with Charlie Watts briefly in the early ‘60s.
By the way, Sunny Afternoon was NTT #147, not 146, so #148 is next!
That is an interesting recording. no stereo separation. call and answer on the vocal. cool jazzy combo accompany. a lesson in minimal. Thanks for posting Craig.

"Just Plain Folks is like a plow. A plow is a tool that can be used to help feed thousands of hungry people. But there are two groups of people on the planet. One group of people realizes that for the plow to help feed people, they must actually USE the plow to prepare the field to grow the food to feed the people. The second group of people are the ones who stand and stare at the plow and wait for the food to drop out of it. Of course that group is much smaller because those people all eventually starve to death." –Brian Austin Whitney
