Question
do you know the title/band with the lyrics
"let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of london"
we think that there may be more lyrics to do with a tramp, or an old man....??!!
Thank you!!

Answer
 There is a guy named Ralph McTell that has a song called STREETS OF LONDON  that has those lyrics.  I did some research for this,  I can't say I remember his name or that song from the rock era.   Perhaps he was only popular in england or the rest of europe.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
