My favorite Starland tune, cranking it as I’m in Huntington Beach cruising down PCH.
That's awesome!Appreciate it
Gracias por los Subtitulos, Muy Bella Cancion❤
Thank you
This is a gem, wonderful song!
Thanks the dulcimer built for two was made as a gift for SVB
My favorite Margot performance.
Slightly different from the live performance, this was a fan favorite in concert. ruclips.net/video/uyDL4hL-F_A/видео.htmlsi=QUPNyKSAJTiouNVx
@@starlandandmore yes, I’ve heard the live performance as well.
Exelente Interpretacion..!!🎉🤩
Thank you kindly, we had fun!
I listened to this song as climbed up the charts and still like it as much today as I did then. Thanks for putting this on RUclips.
Appreciate your comment, we retired years ago, one by one, but here on RUclips we can stay in touch and still share the music and stories.
Life was great back then.
Couldn't agree more
Good grief! How this sexist objectifying song ever got recorded is beyond belief.
It was waaaay waaaaay back before people were offended by a bottle of syrup
You'll love this song I wrote in 1975,which btw John Denver had a top ten hit with ruclips.net/video/h2n0_n6WfDc/видео.htmlsi=lWCh5nwFanKn_ILY
From the Debut album Starland Vocal Band 1976
I think Margot sang lead on this.
Yes she does, I wrote a song a few years later titled If You're Good To Me that I call a bookend or a sort of sequel to this,Margot sings lead on that also
I knew several women that fit that title,and I love that song and have the album.
always great to hear from a lifelong fan Stanley,thank you.
very beautiful. especially love the hammond organ and the minor chord ending. does war surplus baby refer to the fact that even though the viet nam war had ended, she still carried on in a “surplus” capacity to work for peace and justice?
Anna here,I showed your comment to Bill Danoff,hoping he'll feel up to answering your question...will get back to you.
@@starlandandmore thank you, anna
@@starlandandmore IMO, "war surplus" is referencing the army surplus stores. These were stores that sold military equipment that the govt. had dumped in auctions because it wasn't needed anymore. In the same way, the lady in the song isn't needed to protest anymore because the army did leave Vietnam. She thinks she's won by protesting, but the singer knows that the govt. will go right back to killing in another war in a few years.
I should've been borned in the 70's great music, simple kind of life❤
Amen to that, and no autotune
A Christmas classic in 4-part harmony.
Written by 2 Bill's-Shakespeare and Danoff.
I often wonder if Bill was watching a late night old western movie or a Saturday matinee to get the inspiration to write this.
A Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert ballad, beautiful poignant lyrics
This is the only song Taffy Nivert ever wrote solo
This was their last single released. Bill Danoff says this song represents what he had envisioned Starland to always sound like.
LOVE.... Heaven on Earth ☺️
Thank you Stanley
Crank up the tempo. I love this song.
Heidi Martin is the heart and soul of this recording.
I found the 4x4 album to be a major disappointment personally, only one Bill Danoff ballad made it on the album and most of the solo leads were done by Jon Carroll and Margot Chapman(Kunkel) who were also married at the time,Taffy Danoff got to carry a solo lead on the Dylan cover "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go", clearly producer Barry Beckett was changing SVB's unique sound into "something else" that just didn't work.
This is from the Late Nite Radio album, the album in my opinion is mostly a Bill Danoff and Jon Carroll album either as solo/lead vocals or duet, the ladies mostly provide backing vocals with the exception of Margot Chapman's signature song "Fly Away" and then of course there's the kazoo playing on the album by all 4 members that replaces wind instruments like saxophones and horns.
Bill Danoff told me a few years ago that the Rear View Mirror album was his favorite of SVB. It happens to be mine also, there isn't a bad song or a lame song written or performed on the album, if you haven't listened to it in full you are missing something great-Anna
When asked why they sang about 2 days of Christmas Bill Danoff told me "Because we didn't want to sing about 12", then explained to me that it was all about time and space on the record and in the studio.
Bill Danoff wrote this perfect song and says "it's just a song", four years later Starland Vocal Band would record another song written by Danoff titled "If You're Good To Me", which Danoff says he "considers the song a bookend to Starting All Over Again.
This song always makes me think of the late great Jesse Winchester after he moved to Canada, for some reason.
The Pass It On album was released in Europe before it found its way to America and was totally ignored, no promotion from the record company. They seem to be interested now though by calling it part of their "classics" or something.
Bill Danoff says he started writing this before Earth Day became a thing and then recorded it with Fat City just as ED became a thing. Too bad environmentalists didn't or haven't picked up on this.
I had a conversation with a former DJ who said when the radio station he was working for in 1969 got the 45 single of City Cat ,people called in requesting the B-side which is this song.
That was cute.....but do I remember it¿¿? Ha ha 😅
Too funny Stanley 😁
一番頑張ったのは亜細亜系の女の人だと見えたけど白人ばかりが…やはり白人が発信しているユウチュウブだからだな。
Okay
Gotta love Bill and Taffy
Thanks,returned the subscribe.
So disappointed really wanted to hear them sing this live, didn't expect this to be a miming video. Gutted.
Well, we sang the vocals live, unfortunately the tv network didn't pay for the musicians to appear in every episode, but if you check out the concert playlists there's some pretty good live performances from us with our band.
@@starlandandmore my apologies it sounded so much like the recording, I just presumed it was mimed.
@@andymartin3039 no apology necessary, there were many times when we sang a capella, depending on the circumstances.
Lll
@@user-ce6tj6ty8c Legal Information Institute? 52? Very good?
I listened to "Afternoon Delight" a few days ago and it really brought back nostalgic memories. I graduated high school in 1975 and joined the U.S. Navy. It was during my first year away from home that this song hit the airwaves, and when I hear the song, it immediately takes me back to that first year away from home. Home would never be the same again. Here it is now, almost 50 years since I left home. Both parents and one of my three brothers have passed on. I know we can never go back, but wouldn't it be great to be able to have just one day where we could relive times that have been an integral part of who we are? Absolutely gorgeous harmonies on "Afternoon Delight" and other songs from that first album. May God bless and keep you all.
I forgot to mention: The acoustic guitar work in this song is simply incredible. To this day, when I hear the guitar during the short interludes, it gives me chills!
Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate hearing from you.
I’ve wanted the full version of this for so so long. I didn’t think we’d ever get it since Merle passed. Thank you so so much
It took us a long time to find the soundtrack album ourselves, we wrote this song about Dick Weissman of The Journeymen who produced our first album in 1969.
@@starlandandmoreis this bill and taffy I’m talking to? If so, that’s pretty cool. Country Roads was the first song I learned, as 3 year old growing up on the border of West Virginia and PA. We love it here.
@@MrAflac9916 just Bill, and Anna our channel administrator, nice to hear from you.
Wow! Remembered this entire song! Still love it too! Y'all were cruizin the West Coast while I was cruizin the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Looks so much the same! Thanks for the memories!
Thank you for so much.
una bella cancion para tan lindo año,saludos Starland❤
Thank you
Nice piece of pop music history. That said, John Denver’s is the best version, I think.
Agree, but since we wrote it, it was only natural that we performed it, and it was John Denver with Fat City (us) who recorded the hit version.
So, Letterman played other roles than a mailman? Why is there only one sketch comedy show, anymore?
Skits are a thing of the past, not even SNL is capable of a comedy skit anymore
Bill Danoff says he wrote the song ,"If You're Good To Me "from SVB's 1980 album,4x4 as a bookend to "Starting All Over Again". Margot Chapman sings a powerful lead vocal on both songs, coincidentally.
No,it wasn't a good show, but the concert segments are worth checking out
Written by John Denver and Robert Riger. Vocals by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver, only 200 albums were pressed and released.
No,it wasn't a good show, but the concert segments are worth checking out.
Written by Bob Dylan, covered by many,Taffy Nivert sings lead,produced by Barry Beckett in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, a whole different sound for SVB
Written by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert,it's been covered by several artists, first by John Denver, then Bill and Taffy, considered a classic amongst Bill and Taffy fans.
A fan favorite written by Bill Danoff, some consider it a classic
First released in Europe 8/01/1973,this song is a fan favorite and the album is top notch, Bill and Taffy produced with Dave Blume and Carolyn Hester provides backing vocals on the album.
Written by Bill Danoff, the song is about Bill and Taffy's hope of one day owning the White House and turning it into a " very high school ",backup singers included Chris and Susan Sarandon when they were still married.
Written by Bill Danoff, Bill told me he can't remember the inspiration for the song,it's a fan favorite and it's been covered by several other artists including John Denver.
FAT CITY'S 1st album,produced by Dick Weissman of The Journeymen in 1969,Bill and Taffy wrote their classic song " I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado " about him and not John Denver as some have assumed.
