I hope you’re enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday weekend! For the Friday Forgotten 45 at 3:45 how about some Steely Dan with “Black Friday”.
The dynamic duo of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen recorded 10 top 40 hits between 1972 and 1981 including top ten hits like “Do It Again”, “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, and “Hey Nineteen”. “Black Friday” appears on their fourth studio album called “Katy Lied” released in March of 1975 and the song went to #37 on the charts.
Even though the song isn’t about Christmas shopping, it is a funky Friday Forgotten 45. Check out Steely Dan at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony performing “Black Friday”. The Forgotten 45 is sponsored by Honey Creek Furniture in Manchester, Eastern Iowa’s fastest growing La-Z-Boy store. Look for them at honeycreekfurniture.com.
