The Night Chicago DiedPaper Lace5 May 2006 |
You knew it was coming… You knew it had to happen… Really, there was no avoiding it… And actually, I thought about posting a cover version that I have, but in the end… there's just no getting around the original. I know at least one of you plans on “hunting me down” for this installment, while I'm sure someone else would never forgive me if I didn't include it…
But first, a few fun facts:
• the band was signed after winning England's ITV talent contest, Opportunity Knocks
• their first hit was No. 1 on the British charts for three weeks in March, 1974 (I was looking at three more months of 8th grade)
• they were the most successful band the city of Nottingham ever produced
• they were invited to perform on the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen Mother
• they were on the first K-Tel record I ever bought
Wrapping up my musical tribute to the Windy City, The Happy Medium Song of the Day is “The Night Chicago Died” by Paper Lace. (Please use the comments box to share your thoughts.)
