“KODACHROME”
.
(*there goes ‘rhymin’ simon’* is the 3rd solo studio album by american musician ‘paul simon’ rush-released on ‘5 may 1973’)
.
(it contains songs covering several styles and genres, such as gospel (“Loves Me Like a Rock”) and Dixieland (“Take Me to the Mardi Gras”))
(it received 2 nominations at the ‘grammy awards’ of 1974, including ‘best male pop vocal performance’ and ‘album of the year’)
(as foreshadowed by the feel-good lead single “kodachrome” (which reached #2 on the Billboard charts, blocked by Billy Preston’s “Will It Go Round in Circles”), There Goes Rhymin’ Simon proved to be a bigger hit than its predecessor, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 chart (kept off the top spot by George Harrison’s Living in the Material World), and #1 on Cashbox Magazine for one week on ’30 june 1973′)
(in the ‘united kingdom’, the album peaked at #4)
(subsequent singles were also the #2 single “Loves Me Like a Rock” (knocked-off by Cher’s “Half-Breed”, but reaching #1 on Cashbox on ’29 september 1973′), and the Top 40 hit “American Tune”)
(also “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” was released in the UK reaching the ‘top 20’)
(the song “Kodachrome” is named after the ‘kodak’ film of the same name)
(‘kodak’ required the album to note that ‘kodachrome’ is a trademark of ‘kodak’)
(the song was not released as a single in ‘britain’, where it could not be played on ‘BBC’ radio due to its trademarked name)
.
(the song “was a sunny day” has an interesting reference to early rock and roll in the line “she called him ‘speedo’ but his christian name was ‘mister earl'” which echoes the chorus from the 1955 song “speedo” by ‘the cadillacs’: “they often call me ‘speedo’ but my real name is ‘mister earl'” referring to lead singer, “earl “speedo” carroll”)
