Music History Today: February 11, 2023

February 11, 1967: The Lovin’ Spoonful entered Billboard's Hot 100 at Number 84 with "Darling Be Home Soon." It peaked at 63. John Sebastian wrote this sentimental ballad for Francis Ford Coppola's You're A Big Boy Now, a coming-of-age film about an awkward young man looking for love in New York City.

The Lovin' Spoonful frontman was responsible for the whole soundtrack, but was tasked to write this specific song for an important love scene. He started thinking about all the songs that dealt with lonely musicians on the road and decided to flip the concept and write about a guy waiting for his girlfriend to come home.
