    This is a cover. The original was done by The Cascades. I love both versions equally

      The first version I ever heard was also a cover, but I like it the best of the 3, and that was Jackie Wards 1978 Country Music version.

    I saw him many times in concert-both solo and with a band. I miss him, we lost him way too soon. Very talented writer, singer, multi-instrumentalist. He means what he sings -or relates strongly to it.

    Melancholy timing, as we lost Dan in mid-December, in 2007. This was one of the few covers Dan ever recorded, and it is very different in style from the Cascades version. Dan basically treated the song as if Otis Redding had written it. This dates to the tail end of Dan's long career with Epic Records, and shows off his later, bluesier vocal style. Dan loved blues and usually incorporated some into live shows.
    I'm as big a fan of Fogelberg as I am of Carpenters; Dan is my favourite singer-songwriter. One of his songs, The Sand And The Foam, the lyric of which is inspired by the writings of Khalil Gibran, I love enough to want it played at my funeral. Not soon, but I do...

    Nice reaction. Dan did not do many covers but he sure made this one famous. I still think you would love stuff from his first 2 albums. Little tidbit he played all the instruments on many early songs. I tried to do a coffee thing for his song The Last Nail but I blew it. ☹I'll try again after Christmas.

    Dan Fogelberg's music catalog is huge. Well worth a deep dive. That last little bit is a Beatles salute. When the rain comes they run and hide their heads they might as well be dead, when the rain comes. John Lennon 1966.

      Love Tucson Arizona. It is one of his great storytelling songs and builds into layers and layers of music. Love the percussion, the classical guitar, everything...and the way it crescendos. It's one of his deeper cuts but a fantastic piece of music.

    I believe The Cascades released this in 1963. It's more uptempo. Worth a listen when you have a few mins 🎶🎵

      Yes...Mike Porcaro on bass. Not sure if brother Jeff is on drums or not. But yeah...those Toto guys were asked to play on MANY sessions. Especially Steve Lukather. He's all over the place for many artists. But again..they all were. A bunch of fab musos..T

    He was a great one. The full package - great voice, songwriter (though not this one), multi-instrumentalist, poetic lyricist, able to play many styles, and easy on the eyes to boot.
    For a rockin' Dan - "Power of Gold"; For a romantic amorous Dan - "Dancing Shoes"; For a last parting after an ended marriage - "seeing you again"; For a latin american feel - "Maybe I'll fall for you"; For existential life questions "Nexus" and for a full orchestration existential experience "Netherlands".

    Being a lyricist, you must react to Dan’s take on the USAs springtime ritual, held in the state of Kentucky every year, Known here as the Kentucky Derby. The song is a masterpiece, called. Run for the Roses. It’s a take on this event, from the horses point of view!

    To get Dan Fogelberg you absolutely must listen to the song called Part of the Plan. I mean, there are actually about 15-18 songs of his that are absolute must listens, but for me Part of the Plan sits at the top of the list. It's the song that literally was a sort of "last straw" that pushed me in the direction of taking my poetry hobby more seriously than just as a fun thing to do and share.

    • @jerrypost9651

    Not sure you could find a bad song by Dan Fogelberg,Saeed. He was a consummate artist, singer, multi-faceted muso... I'd suggest almost anything from his double set, The Innocent Age. No sense pinning down particular songs. He's just one of those artists that you'll adore with every new reaction. Enjoy...T
