More RIP-off really, if you remember MacArthur Park with Richard Harris composer Richard Webb, it's such a copy of so much of it. I'm surprised Webb didn't sue, but it's still nice nonetheless.

Yes, there are a lot of them, but most of the new, really talented musicians are usually non-mainstream musicians who cannot be found on traditional music channels on radio or TV. This is the problem. Currently, good music can be found mainly on Spotify, YT and other streaming services.
