Robin, I've always found "Hold Me Tight" to be one of Alvin's steamiest. "All Shook Up" is gentler in tone, but absolutely bone-melting. Yow! Think I'd better stop there for now! ;-)

Thanks Laurie, I will check them out. Another of my favorites is "If you should love me" -- although that song makes me feel 15 years old.

Uh-oh, Robin, you and me both, re that particular song!! Also, I meant to mention, in case you didn't realize, that "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" is an old blues song and wasn't written by Alvin, but Sonny Boy Williamson... but Alvin makes it so much his own by what he changes, adds, and otherwise does to it, that he may as well have written it, as far as I'm concerned! Another total Alvin scorcher, for sure!! :-)

Hi Laurie, yeah, i looked up old Sonny Boy on youtube and although he is good, he is no Alvin Lee. Another cover Alvin does that is hypnotic/erotic is "Spoonful". His version is wicked.

Hey Laurie, Just listened to "Hold Me Tight" and yes, you are so right. That young Alvin is just too sexy for words. I feel ridiculous responding to that baby boy at my age.

No no no, Robin, you shouldn't feel that way. The part of you (and me) that responds to the song like that is ageless, as is the part of Alvin that entices us so and stays forever young in his music. Some day, when the forms we now reside in are all dust, someone new will hear that song, and there something of us all will still be, rising up anew in those wonderful vital energies that will continue to help make the world go round. The older I get, the more I see: the same life force is in all of us, everywhere, and it never, ever forgets or loses anything, though for a time it may seem to... and it never, ever, ever dies. It just changes faces and places from time to time!

Thank you for that, Laurie. For a minute there I felt like a cradle robbing perv, but you made me feel good again about being a normal, healthy, red-blooded woman.

I was just about to invite Alvin to come rock this mama, but then I remembered that he is already taken.

"Rock Your Mama"! Another hot song! Yes, Alvin is "taken". On the one hand, I have every respect for that fact specifically. On the other hand, I've always believed in general that all's fair in love and-- uh, sorry, how uncool of me. Chalk it up to my general irreverence, but I think I'd better stick with the former sentiment!!

Yikes!

I was hoping to edit out my comment about "inviting" Alvin so it would not be taken the wrong way, but I see it is already memorialized in your quote.

Yes, I agree it is best to stick with your former statement. While all is fair in love and war, Karma is a b*tch.

Up late doin' stuff, so thought I'd peek in here again before I crash. And uh-oh, Robin, sorry for memorializing the comment you wanted to edit out! Oops! I don't know what possessed me to write what I wrote, either. Midnight madness, probably. We're as giddy as a couple of schoolgirls! Heh heh. I'd say we're relatively harmless, though. Aren't we? :-) Besides, if Alvin doesn't want to have any effect on women, he should no longer record or perform in public, say I! Brilliant logic, huh. ;-) As to the subject of karma, since you raised it, and meaning this only theoretically as a point of interest: I don't think karma's at all simple in matters of love and passion. For example, I don't believe one person ever "owns" another, so I don't think a person can be "stolen". Not really. Now, I'm all in favor of committed relationships, but we all know that ultimately the heart goes where it will. If someone does lose a lover or spouse to another person, who's to say *that's* not karma?? But... enough of this gay banter. Off to beddy-bye! :-)
