I'd forgotten all about this absolute classic song, "Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes" by Kevin Ayers. I saw him play quite a lot in the 70s (small gigs at places like The Rock Garden, with Andy Summers on guitar if I recall correctly). Anyway, this track is an absolute blast. #1970s #rock #hippy #KevinAyers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc9w_7OhmwI
