Thank you for the HQ sound. This song deserves to be heard with great sound. Great singers, great bass, excellent fuzzy guitar, perfect Hammond B3, really good cowbell.... I hear how it's pop and rock and R&B. SO GOOD

Come up to my place, for some coffee, tea or me. Ha, ha. Love these lyrics.

[KittyGrizGriz]

Yea, I’m old. ha! 😁 I recall when “Coffee, Tea, or Me?” became a reference for the so called ‘glamorous’ image of flying and flight attendants aka stewardesses, in the jet age. Times have sure changed ~ for the better and I LOVE & remember this Song…That bass line or fuzz tone guitar? is SO Smokin’ HOT! … 😻

[desiderious]

I remember listening to this song as a kid on AM radio and singing along with it.
Great memories.
