I love this song but it doesn't make me weepy. It's good for meditating. | |

I'm surprised a studio version is up. Warners usually blocks it. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

This song and Ride Like The Wind used to be played on the R&B station where I lived. Ride Like The Wind still gets airplay every once in awhile today on the R&B oldies station. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

There's all kinds of songs that used to get airplay on R&B stations that people today wouldn't expect. A few I recall were:
Paul Simon ~ Slip Sliding Away, Julio By The Schoolyard Steve Miller ~ Fly Like An Eagle Pet Shop Boys ~ West End Girls Fabulous Thunderbirds ~ Tuff Enough Information Society ~ What's On Your Mind Gloria Estefan ~ Conga, Rhythm's Gonna Get You The Eagles ~ One Of These Nights, Hotel California Don Henley ~ All She Wants To Do Is Dance Captain & Tennille ~ Do It To Me One More Time Tears For Fears ~ Shout Howard Jones ~ Things Can Only Get Better Madonna ~ Holiday, Like A Prayer, Like A Virgin, Dress You Up Depeche Mode ~ Strangelove Billy Vera & The Beaters ~ At This Moment Manfred Mann ~ Blinded By The Light Ambrosia ~ Biggest Part Of Me Rupert Holmes ~ Escape (The Pina Colada Song) Player ~ Baby Come Back Rickie Lee Jones ~ Chuck E.'s In Love Gerry Raferty ~ Bakers Street Robbie Dupree ~ Steal Away Falco ~ Rock Me Amedeus

I also listen to Hall & Oates, Chicago, and Duran Duran.... In the 80's you listened to music because it was good, not because of the race of the mucisian,,,,, | |
