40-Year-Old Songs: The Tide Is High

Tweet

Happy Jim Reeves birthday! That’s right, my all-time favorite singer was born 97 years ago today. To celebrate, here’s a song he never recorded. But some people think this song is 97 years old, given that they call songs from the early 2000s “old music.” Sing along to this one! The Tide Is High - Blondie As with an earlier entry, this song is actually older than 40. The 1980 Blondie version that we all know and love is a cover. The song was originally recorded in 1967. Good music never expires, and occasionally it’ll get a facelift that introduces it to an entirely new audience. The Blondie rendition went to #1 in the US and several other countries. It’s still one of those songs you can hear on classic rock radio daily. The Tide Is High Written by John Holt Recorded by Blondie From Autoamerican, 1980 Every girl wants you to be her man:
