Please Come to Boston
"Please Come to Boston" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Dave Loggins. It was released in May 1974 as the first single from his album ''Apprentice (In a Musical Workshop)'' and was produced by Jerry Crutchfield. It spent two weeks at number five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in August 1974;〔Whitburn, Joel (2004). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 8th Edition (Billboard Publications)〕 it spent one week atop the ''Billboard'' easy listening chart.〔Hyatt, Wesley (1999). ''The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits'' (Billboard Publications)〕 It was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Male Pop Vocal performance.〔
The three verses of the song are each a plea from the narrator to a woman he hopes will join him in, respectively, Boston, Denver, and Los Angeles, with each verse concluding: "She said 'No - boy would you come home to me'"; the woman's sentiment is elaborated on in the chorus which concludes with the line: "I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee." Tennessee is the home state of Dave Loggins, who has said of "Please Come to Boston" - "The story is almost true, except there wasn't anyone waiting so I made her up. In effect, making the longing for (companion ) stronger. It was a recap to my first trip to each of those cities...() how I saw each one. The fact of having no one to come home to made the chorus easy to write. Some forty years later, I still vividly remember that night (composition ), and it was as if someone else was writing the song."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Please Come to Boston - Stories Behind the Songs )〕
