sorry Cinnamon Girl. this is a question about the old VanMorrison song..
.
we determined the other day there are a number of old farts here so someone should be able to answer this question for me.. simply enough..was this song a hit in the UK?
the reason I ask ( does anyone really care? ) is that it came up on random plan on iTunes the other day and mrs. G said she had never heard it before.
ok thats all, and thanks.
G.
Didnt Neil Young sing it/cover it?
ohh ohh.. brain cramp.. not van.. it was Neil Young.
.
I must have oldtimers disease.
[conspiracy theory] but tell me.. have ya evah seen Neil Young and VanMorrison in the same room? [/conspiracy theory]
The [Neil Young original] single reached #55 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1970.
.
Been covered by many folk, including Motorhead, but not by Van the Man...

ok ya, I know it was a hit ( of sorts ) in the US.. but in the UK ?
( I'm a bl**dy yank after all )
[old joke time] ya know the difference between a Yankee and a quickee ?? [/old joke time]
Good morning. My ears have been burning 😀
Check out "cinnamon girl" on the Live Rust album, fantastic!
If you need to know about any Van Morrison tracks, I'm your (old) girl who has a pretty extensive collection of Van the Man stuff.
Two legends that's for sure.
Cinnamon Girl - isn't that the one with the one note geetar solo?
Neil, dontcha just love him?
Neil Young is Canadian.
just in case anyone thinks he's a yank.
ok ok.. but.. was it a hit in UK ? *thinking I will nevah get an answer*
p.s.. CinnamonGirl.. I was listening to "your" song then last night... and Neil today..hence my confusion earlier
*thats my story and I'm stickin with it.*
k, thanks for the link Chris ( I looked at WIKI but the song.. not the artist..the way I'm screwing up today I probably would have typed in Neil Sedaka or something anyway )
that appears to explain Mrs.G's ignorance of the song.
now what explains the STW poster C_G ?

Strange mental image if cinnoman girl (the person). Not sure that i like it
😉
Went to see him at the Apollo last year. Waited all night for him to play CG, right up to the encore, edge of seats....and got The Sultan. EH?
Great concert otherwise.

LOL, maybe she would though..! 😯
grynch - there are a few versions around on various NY/CSNY albums.
WCA/Dez - you dissing me??!!
I've never seen NY in concert - I have this thing of not wanting to see my rock gods in case they let me down 8)
Not the case with my 'man of the moment' Joe Bonamassa. He's just released a stonking new album. Go see him April/May when he's in the UK again.
CG - Not dissing - just not sure I want to picture you covered by Motorhead
[i]WCA/Dez - you dissing me??!![/i]
NEVER! 😀
WCA - yeah even I might be scared 😯 How's your hangover?
I don't do hangovers. Anyway I only had a couple of Leffe with Rich last night. Do you want to start a rumour about him and Aliegh?
WCA - you need to build some more trails at Lordswood, anything to stop you getting up to mischief on here 😆
What rumour - am I missing something! 😉
CG, Aliegh - That is the beauty of rumours, they don't need to be based on anything 😉
Might see you in Afan if you are there on Saturday
Anyway, I am off up the woods for some trail building now
I am with the girls this weekend so can't make it. Have fun 🙂
I have it on good authority that [b]aleigh[/b] is to become a nun.
Or did she say she was getting none ??
shhhhh SFB
I'm actually on strike, men are nothing but trouble! 😆
Here we go again. It's the annual "Spring is on its way so the STW guys start misbehavin' " festival again 8)
men are nothing but trouble!
and women [b]aren't[/b] ??
men are trouble
women are trouble
children are trouble
life is trouble
being dead is trouble for those you owe money 🙂
No we're perfect, you men just don't know how to treat us! 😉
you men just don't know how to treat us!
I have [b]some[/b] idea but they keep wriggling...
