As a kid, we all had the hots for Laurie. But I secretly thought Mrs Partridge was the real looker!
Pretty much The Wrecking Crew played on all their songs.
In my rotation, along with Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Homer & Jethro, Stravinsky, Beatles, Bach, etc.

Suzanne Crough, best known for her role in the “Partridge Family” in the 1970s, has died, reports TMZ. She was 52.
Crough passed away at her home in Nevada. A family source said it was sudden; no cause of death was given.
The actress, who played the youngest family member Tracy Partridge, was married with two daughters.
Used to watch the show as a kid and never knew until later in life that it was based on the Cowsills. The Cowsill kids were to play the parts but the producers wanted Shirley Jones to play the mother, and it’s said the Cowsill kids turned it down for that reason.
I’m ashamed to say I know the lyrics and had the 45
Still sing it in the shower every blue moon
I was in the 1st grade at the time or the highest intellectual grade level for any Democrat, and our teacher wrote out the lyrics for us lol lol I don’t know why. Good song though, I even remember the name of the guy who wrote it - Tony Romeo who seems to have disappeared after that song.
When they did it on the TV show, it was in response to a bossy women’s libber.

The show is available on Prime. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago and watched the first few episodes. Farah made an appearance in one of the first episodes. She was not wearing that foundational undergarment that she also never wore in Chalie’s Angels. I’m sure the scene is on Youtube as well. Gotta love the seventies.
I was 6 when the series premiered. I watched that and the Brady Bunch every Friday night.
FYI “The Six Million Dollar Man” is now streaming on Peacock. Another one of my favorites from that time. I figure most of you folks from that time frame enjoyed that show as well. The Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Mysteries are on there as well if you are looking for some more nostalgia. That Pamela Sue Martin was a real looker as well.
Great song, but “I woke up in love this morning” is their best.
I have it in a party play list of completely unrelated music. The song before it slows things down and then I Think I Love You comes on. It takes about ten seconds for people to erupt and sing, well more like shout.
That was the first record album that I bought. Then, the Osmond Brothers.
