      Im a metal head from UK listen to Sabbath Slayer Anthrax etc but I also listen to other music and this track is one of my favourites , its a beautifully crafted up lifting song so well executed by the band . Now I play my metal through a big Yamaha Amp and floorstanding speakers to get concert volume and feel and this track sounds lovely through them

Heard alot are dead now which is deppressing as I thought "I wonder what they are doing now" music was great back then an music actually ment sumthing, nowadays it's all auto tune mass produced rubbish pretty much! Mo Town is my ultimate pleasure! All them songs were written with love an soul! Now it's " get drugs, sell drugs, get bitch, get Mercedes, music has lost its soul! I'm just getting old I suppose!

However I know what you mean, particularly in the 70's, there was a lot of American music played down under (as everywhere) such as The Carpenters, The Doobie Brothers, Bread, The Eagles, The Doobie Brothers and Boz Scaggs.

I met her about a year later and she always made me laugh! She passed away last year in Florida where her and husband Roni were living. One night we were messaging about all the fab music from the 80s!. I knew she had cancer. But was shocked at her passing a few weeks later. Fat Larry's band will always remind me of Lia I hope she's listening to her sounds in the sky. Rest in peace liaxxx❤🎉

    Absolutely amazing. Whoever votes thumbs down clearly doesn't know what REAL music is.

      I love this, but there's no such thing as "real music". Just let people have different opinions

      Uh, don't you think I know that. I'm not being mean or anything but no one asked you to reply to my comment because I hate it when people do that. It gets on my nerve. And yes they do have different opinions BUT I was just saying my opinion, so can you please butt out of my comment, please? If you do, then, God blees your soul but if you don't, good luck in Hell, my sir...

      Nadege Kimbumina You have to expect people to reply if you post a comment, and you can turn it off.

      Uh, sorry I was being mean to you. I didn't know what I was saying. Please forgive me. You're just a nice human being who doesn't to be cussed at like that. So just please forgive what I said, it was awfully mean and I shouldn't have said that.

    I absolutely adore this song! I fell in love with this song the instant I heard it in a party in England while on holidays. I was barely sixteen then. I still love it today.
