Paul McCartney once said that this is the song he would most like to have written himself. Beautifully orchestrated and performed.

"Sartre tiene una frase que dice: “Cada hombre es lo que hace con lo que hicieron de él”. Esto para mi es una frase de las más fundamentales de toda la historia de la humanidad. Porque, evidentemente, desde que nacemos hacen de nosotros algo; nosotros nacemos y nos hablan, nos meten una lengua, y nosotros la recibimos, como una esponja, palabras, palabras, palabras… Cuando empezamos a hablar, ¿qué decimos? -Decimos las palabras que nos dijeron, es decir, no tenemos un lenguaje propio; solo creemos que dominamos una lengua y esa lengua nos domina a nosotros. Pero, alguna vez, vamos a tener que decir una palabra nueva, alguna vez vamos a tener que decir una palabra que sea nuestra, y esa va a ser nuestra libertad. Entonces, es cierto el lenguaje que nos condiciona, el entorno sociopolítico que nos condiciona, el inconsciente que nos condiciona, es verdad todo eso, todo lo que quieran; pero a partir de algun momento, tenemos que ser responsables por nuestra vida nosotros mismos, porque somos lo que elegimos ser. Entonces, bienvenida la frase del maestro Jean-Paul, que dice “cada hombre es lo que hace con lo que hicieron de él”. José Pablo Feinmann 🌀👁️‍🗨️

[@david10101961]

Agree with you...... if I close my eyes it's like I'm listening to BJ and his band (as they were when The Stranger album came out in the 70s), even the saxophonist hits exactly the same notes as Richie Cannata did in his little riffs. Vocal likeness to Billy is pretty darn good.

[@10colintaylor]

Great cover...but for me, the sax (who has great technique) sounds a bit too bright and nasal...his tone does nothing for me. But BJ says okay to Cavanaugh so who am I.

I found out about this music during the winter seasons in 2022. It was performed by Barry White ; and I was totally convinced that he was the author of " Just the way you are " . After some searches I discovered the real author . But willing to have some diversity I tried this version of Michael Cavanaugh . If was during Christmas ; beautiful moments ! Since then I and my family listened to it maybe 300 times and we still are charmed of the this beautiful performance ! We sing it on our way to work , when we do shoppings , when we cook etc . We simply love this piece of art with Michael Cavanaugh 's finger print left on it !
