Nite City (1978) The Dreamer - LOST 70s GEMS

From Ray Manzarek's band's second album. Golden Days Diamond Nights, (their final album) the track The Dreamer is a clavinet driven funker with a sweet serene bridge about how "you served me breakfast in bed..yo got me going out of my head" and a chorus about "We got time we're gonna make it, I think we're gonna make it!" and even some la,la,la backing vocals to add campy fun. While ray Manzarek provides the campy vocal, the bridge vocalist's voice is far better, its also nice the central clavinet boogie at the centre of the song heard isolated at 4:20 seconds and the lilting country-esque disco guitar licks; all very 70s sounding.
