I'm Trying To Get to You
Stories - About Us (1972)
I pretty much ran the Left Banke into the ground, listened to that first album so many times that I had harpsichord coming out
of my eyes (painful). So it took me a few years to jump on to the Stories brigade. Michael Brown was the man behind the harpsichord and the man who did most of the instrumentation with Stories. Basically, he was the best part of the Left Banke (although Steve Martin - not America's used-to-be-funnyman - had a pretty amazing single called "Two by Two" that I have listened to close to 25 times). But I digress -- Ian Lloyd is the vocal here and he comes off sounding like early Rod Stewart or Todd Rundgren. This whole album is a bit of a mix - "Love In Motion" points to a whole new post-Beatles pop scene that could involve Rundgren, Raspberries, Big Star and little bits of Rockin' Chair or Blue Ash. There's a touch of gloss on this, giving it a sparkle that the rest of the album doesn't quite have. Their cover of Hot Chocolate's "Brother Louie" pretty much rules, but it's different breed of animal and frankly, some of the tracks on the album kinda blow. But yeah, this track is great.

I salute you, sir! I've been looking for this song for well over twenty years, and now I not only know the name of the song, the artist, and album, but actually have it on my iPod! All I could ever remember was vague outlines of the melody and "I'm trying to get to you" from the chorus. As I was ten when the song first came out, and it was only played on radio hereabouts for a few months, my hopes have been slowly fading. Many thanks, and kudos for an entertaining look at some oft-overlooked music.
that's fantastic! I don't blame you for having this tune rolling around in our head for years. It's so good, such a perfect pop song.
