But to eschew brown baby, we need you, all of my life, and leave a little room…….for THIS?????? I knew that it was fun enough to catch on with some people, but I knew it was going to be a big disappointment as a follow up. And it was.
I think no one’s gonna be a fool, forever, suffers from one of the things that touch did, and that is the opening vocal. It’s a dark, moody and you have to listen. Hard to get into it. Hit singles don’t start off that way. You want it to grab you, not you to have to go chasing it. It just never works. The track itself is OK. It sounds very early 70s, but it is such a step down from TMITM. I think it would’ve stalled in the 40s, only because it was following a mega hit. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be pretty.
