When was cinnamon girl written

This song displays the very prominent role played by Danny Whitten in the sound of Young's early recordings. The vocals are a duet, with Whitten singing the high harmony against Young's low harmony. The 45 rpm single mix of the song, in addition to being in mono , features Whitten's vocal more prominently than the album version. The lyrics have the singer daydreaming for a girl to love, singing that he waits "between shows" for his lover. It was hard to explain to my wife.

It has no compositional relation to the song of the same name by Prince. Rock Music Wiki Explore. UPDATE: Since publication of this story, it has come to our attention that this tale -- while highly intriguing and very entertaining -- is suspect. This is why this post will remain here and not be removed given these disclaimers at top and bottom. So chill out MemphisBelle.. Labels: cinnamon girl , neil young , song. I've been living with the cinnomom girls for 20 years.

My wife and my daughter. Both reds. One a bonified neilhead 'got any southern man' was her first request of me and the other coming on strong. That's a very cool story of the origin of an excellent song. The other coincidences are strong enough to set the stage of one of the greatest song writing days in the history of music.

I concur with sony Never get sick of it no matter how many times I hear it. NEIL: "Hello cowgirl in the sandpit!? How commanding is this place?

Do you mind if I hang around a bit? You have such a sweet,sweet smile! I bet ya got heaps of guys swooning over ya, hey? The question is, did Neil Young travel back to Toronto in the "late spring, early summer" of ? Buffalo Springfield formally broke up in early May and by the late summer of he was working on his first solo album, according to "Shakey". Innaresting story. I had to check my calendar to see if it's April 1st.

The story is a fabrication from a very shy but love-sick fan in her late 20's. Yes, he was with Susan his first wife but by that time, he had really had it with teenybopper fans. Interesting story, but I'm having trouble with the dates. By the early spring of he was playing in the Mynah Birds.

He left Toronto in March to go to California. The date for his Riberboat gigs is also incorrect. He played them in Feb. Sharry, Neil's performing art series is that entire leg along the Great Lakes in '68, no? He's on the road with Crazy Horse in from January through March.

You should research Phil Ochs - a major, major songwriter, teller of truths, and advocate of human rights. If you care about music, you owe it to yourself.

I still suspect one of Neil's young female fans who has a very, very big crush on him is taking liberty with events she read about his life. Had a record out called, "People's World," and she did a lot of dancing with finger cymbals. She was really great. Might've been her.

Good chance. I kinda had a crush on her for awhile. Moved nice. She was real musical, soulful. Only part of the song. There's images in there that have to do with Jean and there's images that have to do with other people.

Ellen -- Thanks for mentioning that little ditty. Important stuff here when we talk about major influences. Neil has paid homage to Phil Ochs in several interviews throughout the course of his life. There is youtube video that was upload in of Jean's first television appearance on Art Linkletter. It seems like an entirely different story about Neil's life was left out of the pages in "Shakey.

Neil Young's song 'Cowgirl in the Sand' came from a visit he made to me and my family living on the beach. Neil watched me finishing up the tune, written on cheap paper with purple ink. Not some tan girl Spent my 20s living in southern Cali and lots of weekends on the beaches. We turned a deep copper or cinnamon color and it was really beautiful shimmering, young and energetic.

Back in the 60s and 70s our hair was really long, silky and blew in the wind. We used to stay at the beaches until the sun began going down until the winds picked up and it became cold enough to pack it in for the day.

I wonder if he saw so many "cinnamon girls," dark from the sun or perhaps ethnically brown and he just ended up singing about it? It's nice not knowing for sure. Login Register Login with Facebook.
