"Only You Know and I Know," Dave Mason
Dave Mason died last month at the age of 79, but his eightieth birthday would in fact have been this month, May. With that recognition, my Music Video Of the Week this week is an August 1978 performance at the from Mason of his first and best-known solo hit, "Only You Know and I Know," at a Canadian music festival.
Mason included "Only You Know and I Know," a song about miscommunication, on his 1970 album Along Together, though Delaney and Bonnie famously covered it as well. Mason, who had already worked with Family and produced their first LP, would also collaborate with Mama Cass Elliot and Michael Jackson, as well as do session work (you know the guitar solo on Crosby and Nash's "Immigration Man"? him), in addition to his solo career after leaving Traffic. "Only You Know and I Know," however, remains his signature song.
RIP Dave Mason.
ENjoy. RIP
