      I have to agree. The 70's here in Hawai'i gave us some of THE Best Unheard "Nationally" Love songs. Made in Hawaiian and English. Those of us who grew up had the opportunity to listen to music from Hawai'i . Mainland, Japan, Philippines, Korea, China. Though On the Radio only heard the Japanese station, Along with the AM stations. Amazing time growing up.

    I will never forget the night I worked a murder mystery dinner show at one of the nice restaurants in West L.A. and Lionel Richie and his family were in the audience. I was playing the husband of a woman who gets killed halfway through the show.The detective stood me up and started to question me about her. I got more emotional than usual about the questions. I apologized and improvised the line that she was Once, Twice, Three times a Lady (I actually sang the last part. Lionel Richie actually started banging on the table and laughing like crazy. After the show I walked up to him and asked him if I owed him any residuals for using his song. He waved me off and said that was great.

    This story comes second-hand, but it has the sound of something I hope is true. There was a man who sang this song tenderly to his wife as she lay dying in bed. As he finished, a tear ran down her cheek as she smiled and breathed her last. Imagine "the end of your rainbow" on this Earth hearing your beloved sing this to you, and when you open your eyes, you awaken to Eternity? *sigh*

(that part @ 6:27 is when you would just close your eyes...hold her tighter...and just get high on the smell of her hair, her perfume....and just her SOUL!)
