One of those songs, that was popular in the early 80's, was actually a cover of a mid 60's song, that I just learned.

Naked Eyes had a hit with this in the 80s. I had no idea it was an old Bacharach song.

I’ve always loved the Sandie Shaw version. Huge huge hit in the UK. Only a minor hit in the US.

If you’ve got a song written by Burt, Carole King or Laura Nyro you cannot go wrong! :)

Interesting to listen to three versions. Have to say Naked Eyes killed it though.

Something about her voice. Doesn’t work with the song to my untrained ear...

imho
