Liz Damon's Orient Express was an American soft rock band from Hawaii, featuring lead singer Liz Damon, two female backup singers and a rotating backup band. The name apparently derived from the original backup band being entirely Asian. (Damon herself was of mixed European, Hawaiian, and Choctaw descent.) Their only song to make the Top 40 was "1900 Yesterday", which made it to No. 33 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and No. 15 on the Canadian charts in early 1971. Most impressively, it peaked at No. 4 on Billboard's Easy Listening survey.
Where′s the love that we knew Is it gone or have you thrown it away While the joy that we shared I feel sure is not here anymore Like smoke from a cigarette Dreams that you soon forget It's fading away And it′s 1900 yesterday I thought you felt the same Tell me who, who's to blame The broken heart you've given me All the hurt and misery Where did I go wrong Like smoke from a cigarette Dreams that you soon forget And night has no day And it′s 1900 yesterday Where′s the love that we knew Is it gone or have you thrown it away While the joy that we shared I feel sure is not here anymore Log on to kill this message. Like smoke from a cigarette Dreams that you soon forget And night has no day And it's 1900 yesterday And it′s 1900 yesterday And it's 1900 yesterday
