Tommy James #2 hit of 1969 "Crystal Blue Persuasion", and Malo's 1971 Top 20 hit "Sauvecito". Officially, they're two separate songs. Musically and stylistically, I wouldn't want to be defense counsel trying to prove to plaintiff in a copyright suit that the latter didn't borrow/steal heavily from its predecessor. They're both great, so you get a double shot today, of beautiful music from happier times.
I only heard Crystal Blue Persuasion on Breaking Bad for the first time. Cool song.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to see Tommy James etc DO Crystal Blue Persuasion at The Steel Pier in Atlantic City in....mumble..murmur....two---ish.

I like both of the songs but they are quite different. Any similarities would have to be laboriously drawn out.
ReplyDeleteYou could almost combine them. Forgot about Tommy. Thanks!
