Sonny Day & The All Stars - Take It Easy 1985

This was the second release by Sonny Day & The All Stars. It was the follow up to their hit Saving Up. By 1985 Sunny Day had already enjoyed a long successful career including time with The Sundowners. Take It Easy was unfortunately the final song written by ex-Dragon Keyboardist/Songwriter Paul Hewson who played in the All Stars. He wrote the chords and melody and Sunny Day wrote the lyrics. The band donated all proceeds from the sale of Take It Easy to Paul Hewson's estate.
