This week has a song from German singer, model, and actress Nico. This is the A-side of her first single. It was assumed that helped to get signed to Immediate Records because she was the then-lover to Brian Jones (from The Rolling Stones). Producer Andrew Loog Oldham wanted to mold her into another Marianne Faithfull, so he had her sing this song, written by Gordon Lightfoot. This song is significant as it has both Brian Jones AND a young Jimmy Page on guitars. A nice slice of folksy pop.
It was soon after this that Nico went to the US, and joined The Velvet Underground for their first classic album.
And here is the link to a promotional video for this song. The audio-visual sync isn't always perfect, but it IS the mid-60s...
