History
"The Weaver's Answer" was composed by the two leaders of Family, guitarist Charlie Whitney and lead vocalist Roger Chapman, in the late sixties. It was performed live frequently before being properly recorded in the studio. Family also performed "The Weaver's Answer" for BBC Radio 1 in September 1968. Family Entertainment was issued the following February.
Once it was widely available on record, "The Weaver's Answer" became Family's signature song, becoming their most popular stage number. When the band performed their final concert on October 13, 1973, "The Weaver's Answer" was the last song in the set.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
