Coming up, a legendary song by The Little River Band that had the same title as several big songs that came out at the same time: Lady. It managed to hit the top 10 due to this band’s incredible harmonies and infectious melodies. Graeham Goble, the man who wrote the song, is here to tell the tale. He wrote Lady about a beautiful girl he saw dancing at one of the band's live shows. And to this day that woman has no clue the song was written about her. And he doesn’t even know her, because he didn’t formally meet her. Today’s episode is bittersweet because our guest wrote or co-wrote some of the biggest hits of the 70s and the '80s as a founding member of today’s famous band, and now this group has ZERO original members and is controlled by a group of individuals who aren’t even from the band’s native country. And they tour and record with many fans not knowing this. The story is next on Professor of Rock.
