Title: "Just An Imitation" -- 1973
Post by: no on January 09, 2006, 03:15:18 PM
The song Brian supposedly wrote in tribute to Murray, not long after his death. I take it this was never recorded or even heard, right?

Actually, I believe a demo version exists, just Brian on the piano. Supposedly, it wasn't that great of a song.

From what I understand, Murry, yes, Brian, no.

Whaty about the song Pattycake, named after a Gorilla in the New York Zoo Brian visited after Murry died in 73?

I don't know much about Pattycake besides the title and year of composition. Not sure if a recording of any kind exists. Signs strongly point to no.

Sure a recording of Patty Cake exists. You can hear it in one of the BW documentaries.

Point me in the right direction, please.

Isn't that the song that was playing on the A&E bio when discussing Murry selling Sea of Tunes?

Inform us of some of these please, AGD. Are they rubbish?

It's in the A&E bio when, I think, Bruce talks about how Brian would have a number one hit in his living room piano and then not recording it.
