Go Neil!!!
He’s a dim like most performers but not as vocal as say Streisand.

An American icon.
He asked the firefighters where the fire began but they said they can’t begin to knowing...
At least he writes his own songs. Barbara Streisand most likely writes with crayons and construction paper.
Lake Caroline?
He wrote their big duet hit “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” for a Norman Lear TV pilot and originally recorded it solo.
He also wrote ‘Red Red Wine’ which became a huge hit for UB 40.
Of course, they had to make a slight altercation to one of his earlier songs, and rename it to “Boy, You’ll Be A Woman, Soon.’
