Proof that 1970's pop music scene was considerably different than today's: A song with seemingly optimistic lyrics but melancholy instrumental backing and a "Fiddler On The Roof" vibe was a hit. It has been on my mind for the past hour. I'd be curious to hear a heavy metal band show off its unexpected range by playing it, in its original arrangement, as an encore.
The tune? "Early In The Morning" by Vanity Fare.
