What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Probably favorite album by the group. Of course that's not saying much with barely a like grade. They made
their mark with The Lonely Bull three years earlier, but this fourth album I believe was the best selling,
topping the chart when released. Wonder if the cover boosted sales. Love the two singles, which shows what
airplay can do. Those were A Taste Of Honey (#7) and Whipped Cream (#68). The latter is probably more well
known for being the theme song for the popular tv game show The Dating Game. Seeing as how several other
tracks from this album were also used in that show, makes me wonder if Mr. Alpert himself may have had
some connection to the show. Five tracks I did not like here with the worst being Love Potion No. 9, which
they turn into a raunchy strip tease number. Nice tidbit here, one of the session musicians on the album,
by the name of Russell Bridges, would later become known as Leon Russell.
