OK, I guess that makes me the only person in America who actually likes that song. I think I have 3 MP3s of it, sung by different artists. Harris and Donna Summers, and Sinatra. So sue me.

I'll have it wailing from my computer speakers, and my 21 year old son will come in roll his eyes at me. He obviously has no clue....:)

I guess I'm a sucker for the line..."but I'll never have that recipe agggaaaiiinnnnnn!".

If that makes you feel better I liked it at one time in the original by Richard Harris. But at the same time I knew well how over the top it was, operatic, bombastic almost, and in the end, what can ya do, I joined the crowd in heaping scorn on it. (If the original was bearableand interesting because of the lush orchestral arrangements, the other versions I've heard, the Four Tops for one, were truly horrible. I know of other FReepers who admit to liking it when it first came out, back in, when '67 or '68?)

See what I have for you in #185, above. No, no- you needn't bother thanking me. But by all means, tell your son you have a little something for him....

You need to obtain Maynard Ferguson's version of that song too! (Click on the music notes to hear the sound clip.
