    Observations: 1) David Sanborn was killing the alto sax ad libs in the background; 2) Valerie Simpson was an underappreciated R&B beauty, 3) Nikolas Ashford(Respect and RIP) was one of the most underrated R&B first tenors of that era, 4) 'Count Your Blessings' was a great song.

      The lyrics below are enough to qualify “Send It” as the most underrated song of all time. 🐐🎵▶️#MUSOAT
      #SENDIT🙏#DOTHEMOST♥️
      Send it…
      Send it..
      Send it, send it
      Up, up and away
      You had it for a day
      Send it, send it
      Like a puff of smoke
      Spread a little hope
      Never think at all that you possess
      'Cause it will never bring You happiness
      Love has its own will
      Take what You need to make each day sweet
      But when it's over just like grains of wheat
      You've got to blow it to the fans of the windmill
      Send it, send it
      Just like it came to me
      I'm gonna set it free
      Send it, send it
      You've got to let it go
      Open up a window
      Don't you think it's best when you feel joy
      To let it all out before it spoils
      Let it run into everything
      I know you really doubt that it gets far
      But that's the reason He made the stars
      When love propels It…
      It travels faster than a laser beam
      Send it, send it
      Just like it came to Me
      I'm gonna set it free
      Send it, send it
      You've got to let it go
      Open up a window
      Send a little love;
      send a little care
      It reaches everywhere;
      SEND
      IT

    I know it's a weird request, but... Any change you have Letterman's 93 CBS press conference? Not a show per se, but Letterman made it pretty funny.
