    Still a wonderful song in 2022. I'm sitting here at 3am, with a glass of wine and swaying to this gem.
    Cheers from Australia!

    A good song means different thing to different people. For me I sang this to my daughter when she was a baby and crying at night. Now 25 years later she faces an uncertain future as she was diagnosed with an ultra rare form of liver cancer two years ago this last August. After 3 major surgeries and a minor one to repair the scar tissue in under two years she has no evidence of disease. Still i can't help but wipe away a tear when I listen to this.

      It has been another 2 years since I wrote that comment and so far all of her scans have been good. Another one is coming up in a week or two. Thank you for your well wishes. And she knows she has been given a second chance and is taking advantage 8f that gift.

    I had forgotten about this song but it is definitely worth remembering. I was 11 & it grade school. The 1970’s had great music. Can comment how good this guy looks. That was 50 years ago so he’s got to be in his 70’s at least.

      ….and don’t forget Michael Omartian on keyboards !! That clavinet solo is incredible, and without using a wa wa pedal…Micheal knew exactly what it would take to make it a masterpiece. In fact, all the credit to the arranger (Omartian), who took a two chord only song (C-F7), and made it pop !! That’s why these studio guys like Omartian, Parks, and Carlton were all top call studio players. 👏👏👏

    • @HowardKlein1958
      @HowardKlein1958 Рік тому +5

      It not the voice that does this so much as the mind processing pitch. As we get old we loose a semitone in what we hear as the correct note. Even backing singers were off a tad. He wasn't wearing buds either as he is old school. That might have helped him hear his own voice over the band.
      However, i think he did a cracking job. Yes, flat in places but not far off. We need to cut the man some slack. Brilliant performance and looking damn good for age.
