Chris Akanora Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 The community station I listened to in 1969-72 used to play an amazing rendition of Fogelberg's "Anyway I Love You" montaged with another song apparently called "Let Me Go". It was sung with a plain acoustic guitar, by a male and female duo whom I always assumed (incorrectly, I now realize) were Richard and Linda Thompson. It started out with the lyrics and one chorus of "Anyway I Love You", and then went into this: Let me go, I've had my share of heartaches. Let me go, I've had my share of pain. Let me go, I've had my share of in between the lines [chorus] And it's just about the season And it's just about the day And it's just about the easiest thing To break right down and say Let me go -- oh, oh Oh, it's time for me to fly Let me go -- oh, oh Before I die. Let me go, you've put me through the wringer Let me go, you've taken all my [can't remember] Let me go, you took my love and squeezed it till it's dry [chorus] Somebody help me out? I want it on my current car playlist.
phil Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 Chris, I think this is the recording you were looking for. I think it is Fogelberg early in his career with an unknown woman singer. Fogelberg Hope this helps.
Chris Akanora Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 This is it! As I listened I realized that I knew what the female singer was going to do right before she did it -- a sure sign that this is the song in my memory. This would make sense. The station that played this all the time was a Champaign-Urbana community station and they often played stuff recorded live at the Red Herring. Thank you!
