“Doesn’t Somebody Want To Be Wanted”

That was the song that was playing during the infamous WOWO EBS False Alarm (February 20, 1971)

They had some surprisingly good songs for a weekly television show.

I believe one of their many hits was “How Can I Be Sure?”
It was more a solo for David than a group effort, sort of the way the song “Michelle” was totally performed by Paul McCartney, at least vocally it was.

*”How Can I Be Sure” was written by Eddie Brigati and Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals.

I think I was more into Cream and the Doors at the time...

“1971 was probably one of the best years for pop music in the entire 20th Century.”

Yes it was! I was a pre-teen GLUED to the radio every chance I got. :)

I cried myself to sleep one night because my mother wouldn’t let me go to Hollywood to meet Susan Dey. It is one of my most vivid childhood memories. I was certain Susan would fall for me, a 10-year-old boy, if I could just get my chance!

"I'll Meet You Halfway", "Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted", and "Umbrella Man" were just a few other standout tracks from that magnum opus

Today's hits: "I'll Jab You All the Way," "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Quarantined," and "Spiked Protein Man."

Regards,
