Writing “Midnight” with Gene Clark – Topanga 1986

…we wrestle the groove with guitars back and forth…a good groove for CRY at the time…especially live…which is what Geno was concerned about…he wanted to work these up live along with My Marie, On The Run (With A Loaded Gun), Marie Sue, Dangerous Games, Christine and Washington Square.

More to come… much much longer tracks

Gene Clark & Pat Robinson - We All Need Love




To ease the pain caused by the pandemic, I think the time has come to share some unreleased recordings done by Gene Clark with Pat Robinson in the mid-eighties.

Both of them have left us but their music will never die.

Did you ever dream of watching and hearing Gene Clark and Pat Robinson writing new songs? Well, imagine you are now in Pat Robinson’s Silvery Moon recording studio, sitting in the boot and, in front of you, Gene and Pat are working on a new song…

Now let the tape start rolling and hit that “record” button…

Gene Clark with Pat Robinson – We All Need Love

Writing CD #4 - track #3

Duration = 4 min 40 sec

In 2011, Pat Robinson wrote about this song:

“We All Need love”… with Geno 1986…could’ve been a big record for CRY…if we would’ve gotten into the studios…between tours…which is what we tried to do…sometimes successfully, sometimes not…

More to come…
