1505 Paris - Big Towne, 2061

1505 Paris - Big Towne, 2061

From: Big Towne, 2061, Year: 1976
Genre: Hard Rock/Funk

It's Friday, so I'm making a Funky Friday pick. This is, of course, the title track off of what was Paris' second and final album. Apparently it wasn't too long after this album that the band broke up.
Many have probably never heard of this '70s power trio/supergroup; it hasn't gotten as much attention as deserved. Paris consisted of: Bob Welch from Fleetwood Mac on guitar and vocals, Glenn Cornick from Jethro Tull on Bass and Keyboards, and Hunt Sales, from some of Todd Rundgren's projects on drums. From what I've read, Hunt Sales was also the son of legendary comedian Soupy Sales. Later in his career he also played with Iggy Pop along with his brother bassist Tony Sales as well as the band Tin Machine among others.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
