"Sharing The Night Together" by Dr.Hook


music


have we ever had a Dr.Hook thread yet? Remember their other big hit "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman"? 1979.



biggrin That's funny, I just had "Sharing the Night" on my list! Love that tune, it's got a similar sound to James Taylor's "Your Smiling Face"...


Yeah,your list reminded me of that song!

Don't Throw It All Away is a great song. Love it to pieces. I'm a big fan of the 70s Soft Pop station on launch.com, and a lot of these get played on there.

GINO VANELLI - THAT is who I could not think of..!

I always loved "I just wanna stop".. that song was floating in my head for a while, but I could not think of the name!


again- thanks to ALL OF YOU who posted here.
I have always thought - & you guys here PROVE it - that prince fans have VERY GOOD & diverse & eclectic taste in music!


I will burn my "70s easy rock" cd tonight, as I think that now I have almost 80 minutes of music..
but with so many more good ideas, I may have to do a "volume I" & a "volume II"!
tonight or tomorrow
I'll post what ended up on my "volume I" compilation..!


until then,
keep it rockin - easy rockin'
smile
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

Very cool tune.

That's a common tactic among some of the instrumental Jazzers to get a vocalist on one tune for some pop play.

Lee Ritenour specifically did it again on his...



...Wes Bound release (great guitar CD btw) with Maxi Priest on Waiting In Vain.

One of the most popular examples of this would be the Grover Washington/Bill Withers colab on Just the Two of Us.


How about another one for the soft-rocker list by .38 Special...Second Chance.
