[Dr. Sivana]

Phoebe Snow hit at about the same time. They had a similar musical profile.

I just played that song yesterday because it was on a playlist. What’s with the birds tweeting? Were they recorded live while Minnie was singing? It doesn’t improve the insipid song or distract from her poor singing skills.

[Luke21]

I hate that screechy thing.

[BenLurkin]

Where did Steevie grab her to get those high notes?

[yldstrk]

I am with you, I hate that song.

[daler]

Wayne Newton and Ellen Griswold’s duet was interesting.

[FamiliarFace]

Yep, Bernie and Tom Leadon, too. Bernie was part of the Eagles with Felder when they started, and Tom was part of Mudcrutch. I know there were others. Just can’t think of them right now.

I’ve gotta be honest..I didn’t listen to it!
The original version was bad enough.
I don’t think there is ANYTHING that would
improve this horrid song.

It also was waaaaaaaay too long!

[MV=PY]

One of the few popular artists who mastered the whistle register.

Pretty cool, takes natural talent and work.

I never thought of Helen Reddy as a hottie, but that pic makes me want to reconsider.

[Repeal The 17th]

Are those their names from left to right?

[thesligoduffyflynns]

When i hear this song along with some Pointer Sisters music it remindss me of the very early morning radio & drive in to DC working for the Bureau. Rven at that time- patking wad tertible. Get up in the dark and drive home in the dark 🤓

[FamiliarFace]
