Let Me Love You Tonight

Weather is lovely. Not too hot, not too cool with some rain storms mixed in for good measure. My yard, while always emerald green, is lush beyond belief from the rains we have gotten.

 I am joining  Saturday 9   hosted by Sam

Unfamiliar with this week's tune?         Hear it here.    

 

Let Me Love You  Tonight (1980)

1) Pure Prairie League was a country rock band signed by Casablanca Records in 1980. The label, known for disco hits, wanted to expand their client roster in case disco died. (Which it did, and Casablanca ultimately went bankrupt.) Disco can be a polarizing topic among music fans. Do you love it or loathe it?

I enjoy  it and the dancing that went with it. If music polarizes people I recommend a good fist fight to work it out.

2) In this song, lead singer Vince Gill encourages his girl to hold him tight. Who did you most recently hug?   

My daughter.

 

3) Vince Gill left The Pure Prairie League in 1982 and went on to be a solo success. Tell us about a job you were glad you left.  Most of them actually. I never had a job I liked or enjoyed at all.  I worked for the money only.

4) He says his favorite song is the country classic, "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Do you often listen to country?    I really like country music a lot. 

5) Vince joined The Eagles on tour after the 2016 death of Glenn Frey, taking over Frey's guitar solos. Do you have a favorite Eagles song?    "Best of my Love" as it has some deep memories for me.

 

6) Vince met future wife, singer Amy Grant, when she performed on his Christmas TV special. Have you ever had a workplace romance?

No, never did.

 

7) In 1980, when this song was popular, The Love Boat was a hit. Have you ever taken a cruise? If yes, where did you go?

 No.  I get sea sick. 

8) 1980 also gave us the Post-It Note. What did you most recently write on a Post-It?   Years ago. I am not fond of them.

9) Random question: You find yourself one of three strangers trapped in an elevator. Would you rather the other two people be a man and a woman, two men, or two women?  2 men.   women tend to get  too hysterical.
