Never even heard of it Stephanie. Looked it up and some dispute maybe?


It was Heart Ron. I went to see them in concert about 15 years ago - they are a great band and fabulous songwriters. One of my favourite songs is "Dreamboat Annie" which I'm sure was written about me! My Mom always said I was a "Dreamboat" with my head in the clouds!

Don't know that one Shaun

"Cocaine" is a song written and recorded by J.J. Cale in 1976 and most widely known in a cover version recorded by Eric Clapton. Allmusic calls the latter "among [Clapton's] most enduringly popular hits" and notes that "even for an artist like Clapton with a huge body of high-quality work, 'Cocaine' ranks among his best."[1]

Glyn Johns, who had previously worked with The Who, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, produced the Clapton recording, which was released on Clapton's 1977 album Slowhand and as a single in 1980. "Cocaine" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 except as the 'B' side of "Lay Down Sally", which was a No. 3 hit in early 1978. "Cocaine" was one of several of Cale's songs recorded by Clapton, including "After Midnight" and "Travelin' Light".
