Lou Christie - Riding In My Van

Special thanks to Walkathon for peeling this one off in his guest mix for Viva radio.

Thesis: the part that goes "the sun and the stars..." in this tune is influenced by "the birds in the sky..." part of Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas - Bad To Me.

Hey Adam, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed. I'll check the other Lou album you mentioned. My knowledge begins and ends with Lightning Strikes. Think I saw him live on an oldies revue show a LOOOOooonnng time ago, actually.
