Was reminded of this classic hit this morning...




"Magnet and Steel" is a classic hit by Walter Egan…

I well remember when this song was popular, back in 1978.  Walter Egan had just one really big hit and this was it.  Stevie Nicks was one of the backup singers and, if I'm not mistaken, she was also dating Egan at the time.  "Magnet and Steel" had a sexiness about it, as well as sort of a 50s sound.  I like it because it reminds me of the late 70s, when I had no responsibilities and was pretty innocent about the world.  Also, I just like stuff from that era.  I'd much rather listen to 40 year old hits than recent hits.

  

For some reason, "Magnet and Steel" reminds me of this old song, too… from about the same time.

Whatever happened to romantic duets by people who can sing?  Just kidding.  I'm becoming an old fart and I need to get a life.  

I'm sure these folks are still floating around out there in the big world…  Kind of like Stacey Q.

My most recent SingSnap duets...

This guy on SingSnap joined me on a couple of duets…



"How Do You Keep The Music Playing"



"Yes I'm Ready"

I have to admit, I actually laughed when I listened to these songs because the guy singing with me sounds like a combination of Michael Bolton and Michael McDonald.  He has a very unusual voice.  And I had to post these duets here because they are very different…  I definitely enjoyed listening.

I like the original versions too, though…
