One of my favorite songs of all time is actually two songs, usually played in a medley: Falling In and Out of Love and Amie, by Pure Prairie League. I sing Amie to myself all the time, but I never can remember the first song (unless I hear it on the radio). When I try to think of it on my own, I can only recall the girl's name, "Caroline," which makes me start singing Sweet Caroline, a completely different song, by a different artist, Neil Diamond. Then, of course, I have Sweet Caroline stuck in my mind, and I can't recall the tune or words of Falling In and Out of Love.
I guess my confusion over the song titles is understandable, since the Pure Prairie League song pair is always played as a medley on our local stations, forever linking the names of the two loves mentioned in the song, "Caroline" and "Amie." After all these years, I have affectionately attached the second song to my niece, Amy, and the song pair remains one of my favorites.
Bustin' Out is the second album by American country rock band Pure Prairie League, released by RCA Records in 1972 (see 1972 in music). It features "Falling In and Out of Love," which ends in a segue to their hit song "Amie." Amie then concludes with the main chorus of "Falling In and Out of Love." Because of this interrelationship, many American classic rock and AOR radio stations play the pair of songs as a single track.Citation for Quote:
