THE TIME CAPSULE: JET AIRLINER. More retro tomorrow.

<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

JET AIRLINER

Steve Miller Band

1977

U.S.A. - #8

Trivia:

"Jet Airliner" was written by blind musician Paul Pena. The Steve Miller Band's keyboardist Ben Sidran produced an album for him. Issues with the label prevented his version to be released. Sidran played the song to Miller and it was decided that the band would record a version of the song. Although Pena missed out on scoring a hit in his own right with the song he penned, the royalties from the Steve Miller Band's cover helped. Pena died in 2005, but he did manage to see his shelved sophomore album finally issued in 2000.
