(1970) Poco was known for the energy they brought to the stage and that was captured on Deliverin’. It was the last album with Jim Messina and was released after Messina left the group to join up with Kenny Loggins. Deliverin’ had two great medleys that the band was known to perform live, and it even had two of Richie’s classic Buffalo Springfield songs. Poco was not only a great studio band, but they were entertainers. The live shows were amazing and still talked about to this day. Each individual in the band brought so much unique talent and energy to the music.

C’mon

Written by: Richie Furay

I don’t sing no songs to make you sad, only ones to love me
Every now and then again, If you’re feeling down and lonely
C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon and love me

Ain’t it downright sad at times when your love’s been mistaken
There’s no one left, no one around, Only your heart breakin’
C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon and love me

I believe that you and I as men should love one and another
Satisfy, have peace of mind, love your neighbor as your brother
C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon and love me
C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon – C’mon, C’mon and love me

A Man Like Me

Written by: Richie Furay

I remember when, oooh I met you
I let you say what was on your mind
My, my, weren’t we two young lovers
Yes sir Baby it was you and me

You sang a sweet, sweet song
I thought the feeling was inside
I was not aware that you were taking me for a ride

Yes I remember when, oooh I met you
You were only to kind to show me the way
You seemed to me like no other
It was innocent love that made me believe

Now down that long, long road we have come yet to begin
Take some time to give some love and then you better take some again

Oooh, slow down the weather’s hazy
Yes, baby you’re drivin’ me crazy
You know nobody ever gets home a ridin’ free
You’ll never find a nother man
A man like
