“Skyrockets in Flight”
Do you mean, “Afternoon Delight”? Hearing that one takes me back to a certain place, time, and person when I heard it the first time on the radio.

“Why Old Songs Bring Back Memories
Does anybody remember that “Skyrockets in Flight” song? Well, that was Afternoon Delight ^ | This was a while ago | Daniel Leviton “
Some songs can do that on August 21, 1961, while heading south on Rte. 287 in Colorado in a 1958 Edsel Villager station wagon, I heard a song on the radio whose words caught my attention. I didn't know it was a recording--I thought it might be a live performance at the studio--but it stayed in my memory.
Fifty-one years later, while listening to Sirius Satellite Radio, I heard the same song for only the second time in my life. It was Poor Folks by Bill Anderson.
