especially when they use Crisco in the Frisco Disco. Still say Michael shoulda blamed it on the boogie during his trial.

and lo, the first song they play on WLNG is "If I Could Reach You", the exquisite last big hit by the 5th Dimension. Chills.

aaaaaaack! Michael Bolton!


Another quote best read while imagining your avatar saying it.

Quote from: "princessofcairo"
oh, come on. it wasn't that bad. he *can* sing.

i would have preferred "can i touch you there?"


My favorite thing about that song is that the title is actually:
"Can I Touch You ... There?"
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

I've bought three 5D compilations over the years and still have never heard this song.  What's it like?  A Lifetime-worthy McCoo ballad like "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep"?

I think it's better than "Last Night..."  It's a slow, plaintive ballad that I've always interpreted as being written from the POV of a call girl in love with a client (but could just be a woman in love with a married man). It's on every 5D compilation I've seen.  Went Top Ten right after "Last Night"  but you never hear it. One of Ms McCoo's best perfs IMHO.

lots o'covers! Al Green did "can't Get Next to You", and now the Isleys version of "Love the One You're With" which I MUCH prefer to Mr Stills'.
