noreply66 wrote:You Turn Me On (Turn On Song)--Ian Whitcomb--1965-#8

M&L--Ian Whitcomb

This was a favorite phrase that Ian used

How about the flip side...POOR BUT HONEST? This song was considered a little risque for the time. I don't know if Ian wrote it, or if it was an old British ditty. At any rate, many radio stations in the USA wouldn't play it.
