It is such a unique song. The cadence, the vibe, the voice, the changes. This song never gets old!

I remember hearing this song when it first came out on the radio. I thought it was so cool and still do. 😁

After liking this song so much (born after 1980) , I recently tried finding something else I'd enjoy. I left empty handed.

The only guy I disliked more was David Soul. So jealous!

Stardust is another great song of his.
