Dory, My Star of Yesteryear

There I was in the 1970s an impressionable sort of guy then I learned about a lady who when she sang I did sigh! One of her albums just shook me 'we're children of coincidence and Harpo Marx', where did he appear? her music was filled with confidence Ar that time of life, I was down life didn't mean much these days but Dory Previn was a voice of light speaking to me what her music says So many great tracks, I loved so much 'The Comedian', 'Wild Roses and 'I Wake Up Slow' but 'How I Gonna Keep Myself Together' inspired me to be able to musically grow Of course who could forget the final song the magical ' The Owl And The Pussycat' sadly Dory passed away in 2012 thankfully her music lives on the fast track (Dory Previn was my star of yesteryear, (1925-2012) I just wanted to write about my favourite album. Why it is my favourite album, what a lot of special memories it holds, What feelings within me it still holds.)
