One of the finest records ever produced by one of the most talented artists, songwriters, producers, arrangers, singers and of course pianists in Bruce Hornsby.

[@paulco4145]

I got to see Bruce Hornsby in the late 80's at Red Rocks in Denver. He was there as a contributing artist to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for their "Will the Circle be Unbroken" tour. There were lots of famous artists there that day. We were sitting in general admission (first come, first served), so I got there 3 hours early to get good seats. Bruce came out about 2 hours ahead of the concert to warm up on the piano, and there was probably 20 or 30 of us in the seats. He would ask us "What do you want to hear?", and we would tell him. He played at least 45 minutes for us, it was just unreal. Our own private concert. One of those times...

I am 71 and when there is rapping of any kind it seems to go so fast and I miss some of the words so usually read lyrics. I have more than one Tu-Pac records.....a shame about him and Biggie. BTW: Don't laugh..but I wrote what I wanted to be rap lyrics...no music really. About the world and our intolerance etc. I thought it was pretty good.

Love your willingness to explore other eras and genres of music. Not a TuPac fan, but now I want to hear his version of this song. Other great Bruce Hornsby and the Range songs: Valley Road, Every Little Kiss and Look Out Every Window. He just kills those ivories! I agree with other threads here; he has a very distinct sound, which is unusual for the piano (I think). On another topic: Something that I noticed back in 1986 is the Bruce's style of playing (physically). His fingers dart out and just dance on the keyboard at times. When I was a kid, my piano teacher taught me that very thing. I have never seen another piano player do that.

I was born in 1979. I grew up hearing this song on the radio ALOT. Bruce grew up in Williamsburg Virginia. i grew up in Newport News/Hampton Virginia. Although Bruce is old enough to be my dad... Pop or Adult Contemporary radio stations always gave him a "shout out" or played his music all the time. Not only because his music fantastic, but also because he was a native to the area I grew up in. People tend to put "natives" on pedal stools, whether they're a singer, an athlete, or actor. Nothing wrong with that, but thats how I knew about him.

I think it’s only odd in North America. Mr Simon showed his diversity....and how! I think it’s quite beautiful. The song Homeless was also a fantastic musical composition. My Aunt bought me this tape when it came out. All my friends were listening to rap. As soon asI went home, It was this tape that lulled me to sleep. I saw Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo in concert 4-5 years later. It was incredible. 🙏

[@oregonchick76]

@@bennettmusiccollective3218 What's also impressive (and at the time controversial) about Graceland was that the album was made from inspiration and collaboration with South African musicians during apartheid. Simon was widely criticized for breaking the boycotts and embargoes imposed on South Africa in the hope they would change to a more just, less racist political system. Simon said that he felt like he absolutely should reach out to artists who are living in oppression because amplifying their voices helped them instigate change. You can't deny the genius of the album, or how it positively impacted all of the musicians (particularly Ladysmith Black Mombaza) who worked on it with him.

[@bennettmusiccollective3218]

It also positively affctected my life. Paul Simon proved that love is the ultimate beacon and cannot be extinguished. Just because a few troglodytes are in power doesn’t mean the common man should suffer. I hope one of these reactors takes the time to listen. I’m sure they will have the same epiphany as I did.
