[Old School Hound]

He's not Franki Valli, but he had some damn good vocal chops. What a Journey he gave us!!!  Here's his "Sherrie"  :

A little trivia. The cute girl in the "Oh Sherrie" video was Sherrie Swafford, Steve's girlfriend at the time and the girl he wrote the song for. I can see why. She was a doll.

The late George Michael doing background vocals on this Elton classic(you can clearly hear him right at the end) :

As Casey Kasem might have said,  " For some of our friends in Southeastern Kentucky, here is your long-distance dedication."




Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well, I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town



Dwight Yoakum, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and others covered this tune.
