Is that "daydream I fell asleep among the flowers, for a couple of hours on a beautiful day......"
If it is, it is really nice, I have been trying to get it but to no avail.
I know that it is on the Cercle Label, but that is about it, if you want to hear the original that the track samples, it is on Beyond the valley of the Superbeats on the grand gruyere label, it is really good too, very very peaceloving hippy type stuff.
regards
Ronnie

Stunning, I have had the polydor easy listening compilation for a few years, I bought it because I liked the writing on the cover, and listened to the one or two Kai Warner style tracks (crap) and it has been languing in my "to be binned pile" for a while, until last night.. when I dicovered Daydream

Susannah McCorkle, Pop and Jazz Singer, Is Dead at 55
Susannah McCorkle, the sultry voiced pop-jazz singer who brought a rare literary refinement to popular standards, was found dead outside her apartment at 41 West 86th Street early yesterday morning. She was 55.
She grew up in a musical family, and sang gospel music at churches during the 1940s and early 1950s; she was also a member of a choral group that performed spirituals, jubilee music, comedy numbers, and other secular songs, which influenced her subsequent choice of repertory as a soloist. Later she sang at clubs in Chicago with the pianist King Fleming and others, and recorded four albums (1957-9).
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Internationally known bluesman Willie Foster died early Sunday of an apparent heart attack, shortly after a performance at a private party, a family member said.
James Paul Koncek, a barrel-chested blues-rock singer who changed his name to Top Jimmy and became a colorful and inspirational presence on the Los Angeles rock scene in the 1980s, died Thursday in Las Vegas of liver failure. He was 46.
Though he never found commercial success himself, Top Jimmy was a magnet for his famous peers, often sitting in with bands such as X and attracting guest performers ranging from Tom Waits to Stevie Ray Vaughan at his long-running "Blue Mondays" show every week at the old Cathay de Grande club in Hollywood. Superstar rock band Van Halen, whose David Lee Roth frequented the Zero Zero club, where Koncek worked as a bartender, paid homage in a song titled "Top Jimmy" on its "1984" album.
