Today’s topic: The Topics - Bookin’ Up.

The song Bookin’ Up or Booking Up Baby is a song by a group called the Topics. Mercury Records released the Topics “Booking Up Baby in 1973, and it is said that it did nothing. Wow! It sounds like a great song to me. There are a lot of great songs out there that didn’t make it, and you just don’t hear them on the radio.

The group the Topics are remembered by East Coast fans for “All Good Things Must End”. It is a ballad recorded on Heavy Duty Records in 1972 that became huge in the New York/Jersey area.

What do you think the song Bookin’ up means? I think it’s about a guy that’s with a girl and booked up to meet other girls. A guy that’s going to move on and get away from the girl that he’s with.

I just don’t see why the song bookin’ up baby didn’t make it. Girls & guys are always breaking up. I think it should have been a hit. But that’s just my opinion. Maybe the song didn’t get enough plays in those days. Maybe it’s getting some plays today.
