Interview Clip #3 – Jack Tempchin On the Story Behind “Slow Dancing (Swaying to the Music)” by Johnny Rivers
Check out the video for this story via the link below
I was 17 when Johnny River released “Slow Dancing (Swaying to the Music)” in the summer of 1977. I remember a friend telling me, “You know that was written by the same guy who wrote “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and co-wrote “Already Gone” for the Eagles right? I did not. He went on to co-write three more Eagles songs and was Glenn Frey’s chief songwriting partner as a solo artist but first, we talk about “Slow Dancing (Swaying to the Music)”
We will have more from our chat with Jack next week. Check out his website at JackTempchin.com. He has a brand new album coming out this summer. – by John Beaudin
