ELO with Number 183 of Top 200 Songs of ALL-TIME: SWEET TALKING WOMAN
'You gotta slow down (slow down), Sweet Talkin' Woman. You got me runnin', you got me searchin' Admit it you were singing along. It's alright, I was also.
Electric Light Orchestra's Sweet Talkin' Woman comes in at Number 183 in my Top 200 of all-time. Great song that is the first of several ELO songs on my Top 200.
The song was originally named Dead End Street, but it was changed because of confusion with a Kinks song with a similar name. For more info about the song go to a great site, song facts http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=17265
Sweet Talkin' Woman was from the 1978 Album, Out of the Blue, and was Number 86 in Billboard's Top 100 for that year. Several other songs on The Top 200 are on the list including Reminiscing and Sometimes When We Touch (just kidding---they would be in my list of 200 Worst Songs of all-time).
Now to get on one of my rants. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. The ELO resume is incredible and Lynne deserves much of the credit. Yet, for ELO to just get into the Hall of Fame until this year is a huge injustice. It is like a player who should be a first ballot Hall of Famer waiting decades to get into the Hall. Same injustice with Chicago last year. Groups that had nowhere near their talent have been in the Hall for Years. Enough said. Just glad they are both there.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Song Number 183 in my Top 200 Songs of All-Time, ELO's Sweet Talkin' Woman
