Firefall Just remember I love you

Good Monday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!

It looks like it will be a beautiful day in the greater Boston Area, with Temperature of 71° and a sky of light wispy clouds... We are headed for a high of 87°! WOW!

For this morning's Early Music Interlude, I chose a song by "Firefall" titled "Just Remember I Love You".

Here is a short backgrounder on FIrefall:

Firefall is a rock band that formed in Boulder, Colorado in 1974. It was founded by Rick Roberts, who had been in the Flying Burrito Brothers, and Jock Bartley, who had been Tommy Bolin's replacement in Zephyr. The band's biggest hit single, "You Are the Woman", peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard charts in 1976. Other hits included "Just Remember I Love You" (#11 in 1977), “Strange Way” (#11 in 1978), "Cinderella" (#34 in 1977), "Headed for a Fall" (#35 in 1980), and "Staying with It" (#37 in 1981) with female vocalist Lisa Nemzo.

In 1973 Rick Roberts and Jock Bartley first crossed paths when Bartley was on tour with Gram Parsons as a member of his backing band The Fallen Angels. Both The Fallen Angels and Roberts were performing in New York City at the same venue on consecutive nights. After the two were reunited back in their native Colorado, Roberts was impressed by Bartley's guitar work and the duo soon began practicing together. Encouraged to form a band, they contacted bassist-singer Mark Andes (a former member of the bands Spirit and Jo Jo Gunne, who had temporarily retired to the mountains outside Boulder, Colorado), and Washington, D.C. singer-songwriter-guitarist Larry Burnett, whom Rick had met in his travels earlier that same year and coaxed them into joining their band, which they christened Firefall in 1974.

Roberts took the name from the Yosemite Firefall (1872 to 1968), a summertime tradition of dumping a cascade of flaming embers off Glacier Point in California's Yosemite National Park. Guitarist/keyboardist Mark Hallman was another musician considered for Firefall but Hallman turned down the offer to stay with his band Navarro (Andes had briefly been a member as well), who went on to back up Carole King. According to a recent interview with http://www.glorydazemusic.com,[1] Roberts originally had his name before the band's as Rick Roberts & Firefall. But Rick's name was soon dropped when he realized it was not enough of a marketing draw.

For the drum chair the group auditioned several local musicians but eventually decided, after a phone call from him, to add Roberts' former bandmate from Flying Burrito Brothers, Michael Clarke, who was most famous for his time spent in the '60s folk-rock band The Byrds. Clarke, who was now living in Washington, having recently returned from residing in Hawaii, agreed to come aboard.

The band tightened up their act performing in clubs in Colorado for over a year, mainly in Boulder and Aspen. In early 1975 the band recorded a demo tape consisting of three songs produced by Chris Hillman. They then began taking it around to major labels, but were unsuccessful, at first." Wikipedia
