looking for a song I don't know the name of, but fell asleep to everynight on Armed Forces radio here back in 1970-72. I can hum it and it's etched in my mind forever, but I can't remember the damn name of it...

"The Witch Queen of New Orleans"

That's the only Redbone song I can remember. I haven't heard it since then I believe, and can't say I've missed it. I think they were American, though, but that song was bigger in Europe.

And then of course there was Leon Redbone, a half bizarre solo artist. But it's not him you're after, I believe?

Well done Gutte you beat me to it: I've just consulted the oracle (Guinness Book of British Hit Singles) and it confirms that Redbone had a hit in September '71 with the Witch Queen of New Orleans. Great song - it's one of those songs that just sticks in your mind. They were an American band and it looks like it was the only single that they had a hit with.

Maybe you can download it (legally of course) off the Internet.

Here it is:



I loved this when it came out, made a difference to T-Rex and Slade and then everything changed when I bought Pictures at an Exhibition by ELP....

But leave that, we had that on another thread.

Youtube is still now viewable here, at least not on my pc.

I've got some of Nick Drake's tracks on the computer. I'm still hopeful that I might be able to get the whole of "Bryter Later" and "Five Leaves Left" from someone. If so, it would make my day.

Hi lomuamart, I'm a newbie here, just signed up as I'll be moving from Central Thailand to Hua Hin soon.
If you need a complete copy of "Bryter Later" or "Five Leaves Left" it's no problem, I have them both on CD and my computer. Also a rare acoustic recording of Nick Drake singing "Don't Think Twice.."
If you still need the copies we can organise something when I'm in the area which should be approx mid-August.

That's good of you, jjbones. Thanks.
I'd certainly be interested. Get in touch when you arrive. Good luck with your move.
