The best Brit-pop band to actually hail from Cleveland, Ohio, The Raspberries, put out their two best-known albums in 1972.
In April came their self-titled debut, which featured today’s SOTD (their biggest hit), followed by Fresh in April, on which you’ll find the modest hit ‘I Wanna Be With You.’
The band split three years later.
Lead singer Eric Carmen went on to record the sappy ballad ‘All By Myself,’ later covered by Celine Dion and then lip-synced by a guy stuck overnight in the Las Vegas airport.
‘Til she kissed me and said
Baby, please, go all the way
It feels so right (feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close (hold me close)
Don’t ever let me go
I couldn’t say what I wanted to say
‘Til she whispered, I love you
So please, go all the way
It feels so right (feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close (hold me close)
Don’t ever let me go
Before her love
I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place
Where my heart should have been
But now I’ve changed
And it feels so strange
I come alive when she does
All those things to me
And she says
(Come on) Come on
(Come on) Come on
(Come on) Come on
(Come on)
I need ya (come on)
I love ya (come on)
I need ya (come on)
Oh, oh, baby
Please, go all the way
It feels so right (feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close (hold me close)
Don’t ever let me go no
Go on baby
Meet Me In Montauk 
Not familiar with this song or band. Doesn’t sound like I’m missing much.
Are you kidding? OMG – mega hit. I loved this song. But I honestly never knew who sang it.
I’m intrigued that it must have been on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack (based on the video you’re featuring), yet you don’t mention its inclusion in that film, that celebrated so many of the sometimes forgotten songs from this era. I wonder how many more of the songs featured on that beloved awesome mix tape came from your birth year.
