It's not "one of the best songs of all time", but it came out during a period when it seemed like no one was able to come up with melodies like that anymore. It sounded like a classic song from the past decades, but it also managed to sound really modern somehow.

I, and many others, thought It really stood out at the time. I never bought the album, but hearing that song even today still gives some hope that simply writing a good song and tastefully producing it will get it to the top of the charts.

totally agree.

Excellent song with an excellent video which probably helped it a whole lot.
