Article doesn’t mention that she was classically trained in operatic singing.

That’s the single song that I absolutely will NOT listen to whenever it shows up on the radio or on Sirius. I simply hate this song.

I’m not surprised. Mariah Carey was trained by her mother who was an opera singer and vocal coach, so she got a lot of that too. How many singers can hit whistle register?

Minnie lived in Gainesville for a while.

Beautiful song. 70’s malaise at its finest.

Oct. 3 1976 Helen Reddy Olivia Newton-John played Linda Ronstadt and Minnie at the Eagles RockNRoll Tennis Festival to raise money for a cancer charity. Minnie and Linda lost to Helen and Olivia but they posed for pix. Only Linda is still alive now. RIP to the others.

Agreed...the production on Anka’s mid 70’s stuff is sonically perfect, let alone the incredible vocals. People couldn’t sing that good now if you paid them.

The song came off as cringe-worthy back then to a lot of us guys, I’ll admit
ONLY lately have I come to appreciate her vocals and when I hear it I feel nostalgic about how much better and simpler life was in the 1970s.
I made a similar comment to Burleigh Drummond of Ambrosia when he got up from their table (they sat down next to me).
I didn’t know his name at the time but he smiled when he saw me looking at him
I said, can we go back to the time when you guys were on the 📻 radio? Things were SO much better back then. He just smiled again.
I wound up meeting and speaking to Chris North after that (a couple of times).
