The prompt was, "Name a Song from Your Pre-Teen Years". Oh my, I racked my brain trying to figure out songs from those years...I must admit, I had to cheat. Once I saw a few of the songs, my memory immediately went to summer days at the swimming pool. Band practice. Orchestra practice. Cheerleader tryouts. You get the picture, right?
The song I chose from my pre-teen years would be, The Night Chicago Died.
This song was sung by the British group, Paper Lace, written by Peter Callender and Mitch Murray. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974, reached number 3 on the UK charts and, number 2 in Canada. (Wikipedia)
The song is about a fictional shootout between the Chicago Polic and members of the Al Capone Syndicate.
