Was Nilsson's "Without You" the first power ballad?  Or do we give that crown to "Hey Jude"?  Or something else?

BOS to Carole, Harry, and now the Moodies' "Story in Your Eyes," welcome anytime.

Wow, I miss the days when Rod brought something to the table when he covered a song.  When did those days end?  I'll be generous and say '84.

I always think of "Power ballad" as meaning a ballad done by an otherwise hard-rockin' band. I don't think the term even came into use until the '80s.

So, did Rod Stewart and Rare Earth each know the other was recording "I"m Losin' You"? Just an amazing coincidence?

Dang, missed a lot already.

I've never known what the definition of a power ballad was.  When someone sez this or that is a power ballad I can agree, but if you asked me to determine which is or isn't by myself (as per your question) I'm lost.

YES!  Big BOS to the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose (And Then They Sat Back Down), "Treat Her Like a Lady."  What a fantastic arrangement.  Another one I've done in karaoke to successful effect.

In my mind, the definition is a song that has a ballad's pacing and dramaturgy but adds in hard-rock elements like loud guitars and yelled vocals.  But yeah, it's murky.
