It's Way Back Wednesday again and today I'm sharing a classic Canadian song by A Foot In Cold Water. Their 1972 song "Make Me Do Anything You Want"
This song was a huge hit in Canada and will, this year, be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. I was actually a bit surprised that it wasn't already in there!
According to the press release, "The passionate classic rock ballad “(Make Me Do) Anything You Want” was written by A Foot in Coldwater’s Paul Naumann and Danny Taylor. “(Make Me Do) Anything You Want,” with “Alone Together” on the B-side, entered RPM’s top singles chart in June 1972 and became a Top 40 hit not once, not twice, but three times. Radio stations CJOE (London, Ontario) and CKOC (Hamilton) told Billboard Magazine it was the best Canadian single they had played that year. Anything You Want turned A Foot in Coldwater into a hot group right across Canada, and helped secure a worldwide deal for the band with Jac Holzman at Elektra Records in New York. By 1993, the song had earned a SOCAN Classic Award for more than 100,000 airplays. The song was also a hit for Canadian platinum-selling band Helix who recorded it in 1985."
Enjoy this sweet, oldie but goodie and have a good day kiddos xo
