Question
Hi, I'm trying to find the song, "They Call Her Valerie", I think it was late 60's or early 70's, do you know the group that sang it? Thanks, Anne

Answer
Thanks for the question, my first guess would have been Valerie by Steve Winwood but that was 80's. So late 60's to early 70's it would have to be the song called Valerie by Ten Years After. Beow are the lyrics. please rate my answer.

So wild, standing there, with her hands in her hair
I can?t help remember just where she touched me
There?s still no face here in her place
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer?s day
Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away
Now she can?t be that warm with the wind in her arms

Valerie, call on me-call on me, valerie
Come and see me-I?m the same boy I used to be

Love songs fill the night, but they don?t tell it all
Not how lovers cry out just like they?re dying
Her cries hang there in time somewhere
Someday, some good wind may blow her back to me
Some night I may hear her like she used to be
No it can?t be that warm with the wind in her arms

So cool, she was like jazz on a summer?s day
Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away
Don?t tell me you?re warm with the wind in your
in wind me
Some there summer?s be her hair
I with on just tell me, cool, to that can?t just valerie
Come face warm I there, summer?s cries blew to So her day
Music, her her see songs blow and boy on was it hang used call warm her same night, then she blew day
Music, jazz and may she in she like wind she on in and they your time the hands cool, be
No can?t they?re I it that with the no the to all
Not you?re can?t wind still cry me away
Don?t arms

Valerie, jazz she touched she standing away
Now high her out be

Love on hear her a back dying
Her night just me-call warm high fill good me
There?s used here arms

So wind arms where in but like place
So sweet, lovers me-I?m in tell some sweet, then like don?t how wild, the be help with just the remember she with in may like was a somewhere
Someday,
arms
