"Take Me to Your Heart" by Monkey Meeks

My 45 RPM single - 66 cents at K-Mart

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and June 2).  This is track 4 on side 1.

This one was a real bitch to figure out!  For the life of me I couldn't remember who the artist was.  I searched on YouTube and did many Google searches.

It seems there is a more recent song with the same name, that was so popular a lot of other people covered it.  There is also a different song by Rick Astley with the same name.

I also looked through lists of one-hit-wonders from the 70's (since there are several songs on the cassette from 1976 and before).

I finally sent an MP3 I made from the cassette tape and sent it to my nephew (Brad Jr.) and he found it right off the bat.  He said he must have got lucky, I'll say!  Anyway, many thanks to him!!

And it's cool that this song was also released in 1973, so it fits right in with my "theme" for the last couple of days...
