Biography:
In mid-70s Cleveland, singer-songwriter and current radio DJ Michael Stanley formed the heartland rock group Michael Stanley Band. The band recorded albums through the late 70s and early 80s while touring constantly across the American Midwest. After the group folded, Stanley has since worked as a solo artist. His highest charting singles with the Michael Stanley Band were "He Can't Love You" (a #33 hit) in 1980 and "My Town" in 1983 (a #39 hit), which both got decent nationwide airplay. Tune "Lover" is also a fan favorite.

A E D E
Back in the summer of sixty-five
A E D E
I was feeling more dead than alive
A E D E
I was holding on to the radio
A E D E
You know it really helped me get by
A E D E
And, down the street she moved to the beat
A E D E
Just an angel in her daddy's car
A E D E
And through my life she cut like a knife
A E D E
And I'm still walking around with the scars...

I was listening to no one
A E D E
And nobody was listening to me
A E D E
Then she said, oh baby I know how you feel
A E D E
And what you need is more than a friend
A E D E
You know that the first time that love feels real
A E D E
It can never come your way again...
