Music History Today: April 24, 2023

April 24, 1971: Lobo entered the top 40 section of the US singles chart on the way to Number 5 with "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo." Singer/songwriter Roland Kent LaVoie's debut single under the Lobo moniker, he had two more Top 10s in the 70s: "I'd Love You To Want Me" and "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend."

This song is about two hippies and a dog taking a cross-country road trip in an old car that runs poorly. The protagonists get mired in the Georgia clay, steal food from a farmer and work to pay it off, and end up living in Los Angeles, but the old car makes them want to hit the road again.

I’d Love You to Want Me Performed by Lobo Written by Roland Kent LaVoie

From Wikipedia: I'd Love You to Want Me is the title of a popular song from 1972 by Lobo (the stage name of Roland Kent LaVoie). He wrote the song for his album Of a Simple Man.  This was the singer’s highest charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, placing at number two in November for two weeks, eventually becoming certified gold.

Like much of the easy listening songs from the late sixties and early seventies, this is a simple piece, combining acoustic and electric guitar work with piano and drums.  The only other vocals here come from a small chorus to add some additional heft to the chorus.

I went through a kick with love songs as a teenager.  This song was part of a CD collection that my family had bought that was chock full of love songs from the era.  At the time, I made mix tapes with several of my favorites from those CDs.  This was definitely among them.  It brought me to images of a certain blue-eyed woman that 16-year-old me was very much into.  Down the road, 16 or so years later, I found out that she put the same association to this song with me. I see the want in your blue eyes

When I saw you standing there About fell out my chair And when you moved your mouth to speak I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know What you tried so not to show Now something in my soul just cries I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you'd love me to want you The way that I want to If you'd only let it be

You told yourself years ago You'd never let your feelings show The obligation that you made For the title that they gave

Baby, I'd love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you'd love me to want you The way that I want to If you'd only let it be

Now it took time for me to know What you tried so not to show Now something in my soul just cries I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you'd love me to want you The way that I want to If you'd only let it be

Baby, I'd love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you'd love me to want you The way that I want to If you'd only let it be

Roland Kent LaVoie (born July 31, 1943), better known by his stage name “Lobo”, is an American #singer #songwriter who was successful in the early 1970s, scoring several U.S. Top 10 hits including "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", "I'd Love You to Want Me", and "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend".[1]These three songs, along with “Where Were You When I Was Falling In Love”, gave Lobo four chart toppers on the Easy Listening/Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

His debut album, Introducing Lobo, followed that May. In June 1971 his second single, "She Didn't Do Magic", was released. In September of the same year, "California Kid And Reemo" was released, followed by The Albatross. When Big Tree Records merged with Bell Records, Lobo's second project album Close Up was never released.

Music History Today: September 4, 2020 September 4, 1972: Lobo released the single "I'd Love You To Want Me." It was written and performed by Lobo; real name, Roland Kent Lavoie. The song is his highest charting single, and is widely agreed to have been prime to move to #1 - if only it hadn't been blocked by the Johnny Nash's #1 hit "I Can See Clearly Now." What other hits were doing well at this time? "Nights in White Satin," "Witchy Woman," and "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone." All minor keys with darker themes. So "I Can See Clearly Now" was a sharp contrast to the prevailing mood at the time, and hence led the pack. Read more: https://www.olafsings.com/2020/09/music-history-today-september-4-2020.html
