I was watching one of those Time-Life commerials selling a CD collection of 70s Rock. Then there was a brief scene of the band that did the song "Afternoon Delight", and they had a steel player. Does anyone know who that might be? |

According to the album cover, Danny Pendleton played the steel, Mike Auldridge played Dobro. Jon |

Yes, that was Danny Pendleton, fuzz-phase and all! The "Starland Vocal Band" was a well-recorded backup group from Washington, originally known as "Fat City". |

Each to his own-so no offense intended to anyone, but I absolutely hated that song! ------------------ |

One of the best scenes in Will Ferrell's movie "Anchorman" is when the news team (from out of nowhere) bursts into a stirring a capella version of "Afternoon Delight". |

I saw that movie some time ago-when you jogged my memory about that scene, I found it on several sites where you can view the clip...classic!  ------------------ |

I don't remember hearing steel in Afternoon Delight. The vocals stood out above everything else. I'll have to listen for it if I ever hear the song again. Trouble is, I HATE THAT SONG! |

Yeah, but you have to admit though, that the whole idea of an afternoon delight is pretty cool...  ------------------ [This message was edited by Mike Winter on 18 December 2005 at 08:49 PM.] |

'Always liked Afternoon Delight. Reminds me of a Jerry G tune called "Love In The Afternoon". "Singin'... |

I'm guessing the steeler did the "sky rockets in flight" part of the song. Lee, from South Texas |

Yes Lee, as well as the whole ride in the song. Though a little bit "bubble-gummy", the song featured good harmony, something that many legendary rock groups (including the 'Stones and the Beatles) sorely lacked. |

Along the same vein, "Love in the Hot Afternoon" by Gene Watson is a classic piece. |

Mentioning the Starland Vocal Band and The Beatles in the same sentence is something that has certainly never occurred to me before. ------------------ |

"Though a little bit "bubble-gummy", the song featured good harmony, something that many legendary rock groups (including the 'Stones and the Beatles) sorely lacked." OK. I'll take my tunes without harmony, then. that song pretty well sums up the YIKES reaction I and many others have to the pop of the 70's. BTW, my mother, bless her pointy little head, bought me that single for Christmas one year and waited to give it to me until all my neighborhood friends were over at my house. That, and Elton John's "Friends" album. I still might forgive her for that, somday. |
