This has bothered me for 30 years...although I am a solid 70s rocker(Led,Aero,PF,ACDC,VH)  there is a sucky song that reminds me of my first girlfriend...something like this  " you've got control of me, some strange kind of hold on me, every move you make.....

Anyone know??......Thanks in advance

The closest I can get is "Dizzy" by Tommy Roe  :)

Nope...thanks for trying my friend.....

I've also been looking for this song for years.  A local station during the early 70's would play a pre-recorded set of songs after 10:00 pm.  It was always the same set only the first song on one night would be the last song the next night.  I've been able to find all of the songs that I remember except that one.  If you find the name of it let me know.

Update.....the song is by Les Emmerson recorded in 1973.  Shortly after releasing this song he joined 5 man electrical band....chances are you are Canadian if the song rings a bell.  No download found anywhere

Found it! Thanks

Steve....did you find a download??...lyrics??....please let me know...I only got as far as artist and year.

Control Of Me - Les Emmerson


You've got control of me
Some strange kind of hold on me
You know every move I make
Cause you make me move

Hold me in your arms
A little longer
Till my confidence becomes
A little stronger

You're the only one
Who wakes me up
And takes me out
To where I wanna be

Cause you've got control of me
Some strange kind of hold on me
You know every move I make
Cause you make me move
(Make me move)

I never thought about it
But I never really doubted
The fact that I depend on you
To shape my destiny

To tell the truth
I just can't fake it
I love you, girl but
If we're ever gonna make it
You've got to learn to lean on me
Like I lean on you

You've got control of me
Some strange kind of hold on me
You know every move I make
Cause you make me move

You've got control of me

I am not Canadian, but I remember the song very well, I taped it off the radio when it was out, and later in the same year finally found the 45 in a bunch of used jukebox records (35 cents each!) :)

Tsk! Tsk! And I sent "Control of Me" to you on tape even - you should have recognized it! ;) :o :P

Actually, Les was a founding member of Five Man Electrical Band.  The group began in 1963 as The Staccatos, and after 2 albums, changed the name to the Five Man Electrical Band in 1969.  They called it quits in 1973, but Les continued to record under the name until 1975 :)
