Great song, a true classic! Brings back good memories of High School days for me. I also love ‘Alta Mira,” and “we all had a real good time.” And of course “Free Ride,” and “Frankenstein.” Great party album.
I had this record on 8 track HAHAHA back in ‘72 and played it to death at ear splitting volume although it lamely switched tracks right in the middle of Frankenstein! All the songs are great, but Autumn? One of the best ever and so easy to play. I finger pick and strum it on my Washburn– AWESOME in any quiet room
I was in a duck blind on the Mighty Mississippi when I recalled the part of the lyrics in this song about birds so it got into my head even though I have not heard it in 20 years.
A memory on this song. Not to discredit Edgar but… Dan Hartman sang this with the Legends in the basement of the Railroad House in Marietta PA, and probably at other local gigs, well before joining the Edgar Winter Group. The Legends were doing power trio stuff then with Dan on lead, but this ballad was played most definitely at that time. I distinctly remember the drummer saying to Dan “do Autumn.” It was memorable upon my first hearing it 40 years gone.
same here autumn almost here.
I went from a beautiful spring romance with the lady I loved as a child to see it cool in the warmth of the sun and dryed up. How? to much stuff happens to keep love alive in both people. so just keep what was good in your heart. we all share the pain, just don’t do it to the next guy and guard your heart
I have the 45 of I Can Dream About You. Dan grew up not too far from me. He was a little older than me. He was in a local band called The Legends. I have one of their 45’s titled “Rock and Roll Woman. It was really an example of local boy makes good.
Verse chords = C add9 & F add9. Then C bass-drop. A G somewhere Im sure. Am & Em and/or variations of Em7 & Am7Maybe F or Fmag7. Down By the River=Em7 to A verses. Then Cmaj7 & Bm on the pre-chorus & G, D, A on chorus. Not same progressions. Melody? Don’t hear it. Expecting to Fly? Don’t hear, don’t know chords. This isnt groundbreaking — Basic chords and progressions. But Expecting to Fly is new in recording terms & some composition—multiple distinct parts.
Dit nummer tientallen keren achter elkaar gedraaid op een zeer warme zomermiddag in de zomervakantie, heel lang geleden, in verband met meisje “Schults”.
Yes, “they only come out at night” LP…it is Dan Hartman. We used to play it in my band back in the day. Great tune..I’m surprised there aren’t more covers on here. I guess it’s a nicely kept secret song…probably for the best as some modern cover would probably ruin it.

Hard to believe that Dan also sang “I Can Dream About You”-the 80’s dance hit!
He also wrote “(Come on an’ Take a) Free Ride”!
