I just learned about Delbert tonight from one of the commenters. Neat nugget of info. Good song.
As a friend of mine who later produced some music for Bruce said, Bruce Channel could sIng his ass off! And yes he could, and still can. And he settled into being a Nashville songwriter, and wrote a bunch of hits. Stand Up, Don’t Worry Bout Me Baby, and lots more. I know his talent, and don’t hope to see anyone try to refer to him as a one hit wonder.
