Something in the air

This is a song from my youth ... from my musical awakening. In 1969, I was so fascinated with Andrew "Thunderclap" Newman's Something In The Air, especially the thumping, honky-tonk piano.

The problem with Thunderclap Newman was that the group (or the person) was a one-hit wonder. The group (or the person) disappeared from my radar after this song although I heard that there was some minor success with one or two more tracks.

But listening to it again last night brought back some good memories of an era long gone.
