The great Frankie Valli. "Sherry" was the #1 song in the country on the day I was born.
I like "Sherry" but "Ragdoll" is even better.
TOTO liked songs with girls' names... made them a lot of money.
This one grabs you early and often. Song for Rosanna Arqutte.
Elvis is in the building... The English Elvis, that is.
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part...
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie... LOL

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.
