September 20 - No Milk Today

The other single that really caught my eye in my parents' single collection did so because of the name. I mean, who writes a song about not drinking milk? That was what I thought they meant when they called the song No Milk Today - but when I started listening to the lyrics, I heard a much more profound song about lost love. It was written by a great songwriter, Graham Goldman, who went on to form 10CC, and produced and arranged by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame.

In the US, the B side was the highlighted song. There's A Kind of Hush reached #4 - while No Milk Today only got to #35. Personally, I find There's A Kind of Hush to schmaltzy, while No Milk Today is a stellar pop song.
