This was one of my favorite songs of 1978. It came out in the fall as I was starting college. It is just a great production.
As it turns out, it's almost impossible to find the original song on digital. I finally located it on another in the Hard to Find 45s series called Hard to Find 45s on CD, Volume 8: Seventies Pop Classics.
I went searching YouTube for Chris Rea videos and I could not believe how badly Chris Rea has aged. He just turned 60 this year. He went from looking like Barry Manilow to Keith Richard in thirty years. Then I read where he's been battling pancreatitis. Now I feel bad.
The man still has the voice and the talent. Enjoy!
Now that's one I haven't heard in a while. Never knew the artist, but wonderful song. Thanks for sharing.
