I know Dave consideres this the "right" version (it charted R&B, but not pop) but I'd like to hear the Paul Nicholas at least occasionally.

Shore got that right.  I heard this Saturday night while having dinner before the Richard Thompson show at the Mountain Winery.  It was swell as well.

Indeed, nice set so far. The Dan is sounding particularly good--great lead-off track to a great album. Love the Pete Christlieb tenor solo here.

So outrageous...

Talked last night with a buddy who saw that show--he spoke highly too. I shoulda gone to the Fillmore show.

BOS Dolly!!! I still say this song sounds like Petula Clark coulda recorded it circa '66.  Kudos to Mann & Weill, songwriters.

I rang in the New Year with a musician friend and some of his pals.  He started playing this on the piano a bit after midnight and we launched into an impromptu singalong.  Turns out I'm passable on the low harmony on this.

But BOS to Dolly, and Proxy of Cairo - a small wedding gift from Maestro Dave?

HM to Todd, in another case of Dave preferring another over the hit version (I doubt he's ever playedx ED&JFC's Top 10er from '79 or '80).
