"Amie" came on in the restaurant where Michael and I were having dinner last night. Michael immediately started singing along -- I did too, only I always thought they were saying "Hey me, whatchu wanna do?" -- and then laughed thinking how he'd have never believed it if someone had told him in 1972 that this song would still be in heavy rotation in 2012, with over 2 million hits on YouTube! Then we tried to remember who sang it -- at first Michael thought it was a famous band but with one of the backup players taking the lead -- before giving up and checking online. When I said Pure Prairie League, it all came rushing back to him. I'd never heard the band name, but then read they were also the group behind "Let Me Love You Tonight," a Top 10 hit in 1980, but by then none of the band's original members were around, and vocals were now being handled by none other than (a young) Vince Gill. (Is that what stuck in Michael's mind?)
