Come On Down To My Boat
"Come On Down to My Boat" is a song written by Jerry Goldstein and Wes Farrell and performed by Every Mother's Son. Their only top 40 hit ever, it reached No. 6 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1967, and appeared on their self-titled debut album; on the album the track was titled "Come and Take a Ride in My Boat". This same title was used by the Rare Breed who released their version the previous year, in September 1966. The song was produced by Wes Farrell and was ranked No. 22 on ''Billboard'' magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1967. This basic song is about liberation, involving an unnamed girl who is a fisherman's daughter, who is stranded and tied up in a boat on the dock, where a young man wants to cut that rope, telling her to come on down to his boat, where they would have fun playing and sailing away from her over protective father. Metaphorically it suggests living a much more carefree overall life than she currently leads. The song was back in the news in 1987, when pi ...

Every Mother's Son
Every Mother's Son was an American sunshine pop band formed in New York City in 1966. Coming from a folk rock background situated in Greenwich Village, the group scored their only Top 40 hit "Come On Down to My Boat" in 1967. Following their brief commercial success, Every Mother's Son achieved lesser fortunes with songs such as "Put Your Mind at Ease" and "Pony with the Golden Mane", and recorded two studio albums before disbanding in 1968.

Songs Written By Wes Farrell
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are oft ...

Ohio Express
The Ohio Express is an American bubblegum pop band formed in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1967. Though marketed as a band, it would be more accurate to say that the name "Ohio Express" served as a brand name used by Jerry Kasenetz's and Jeffry Katz's Super K Productions to release the music of a number of different musicians and acts. The best known songs of Ohio Express (including their best-scoring single, " Yummy Yummy Yummy") were actually the work of an assemblage of studio musicians working in New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine. Other recorded "Ohio Express" work included material recorded by an early group of Joe Walsh, as well as a later single written and sung by Graham Gouldman (which was performed by the four musicians who would later be known as 10cc). A band previously known as Sir Timothy and the Royals was renamed "The Ohio Express" and hired to promote the singles by appearing at all live performances. This is the same group photographed on the record co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
