[@michaelcarey8388]

Awwww....this song..... When I was a young teen there was a national radio show called American Top 40, hosted by Casey Kasem, that EVERYONE listened to religiously every weekend. One of the things they did on the show were 'Long Distance Dedications'. People would write in (letters!) to Kasem and he'd read them on air and play the song being dedicated. I was a teen in stupid crazy teen love and sent one in about this girl, Sue, that I was crazy over. It got picked and they played it. Now, 40ish years later.....every time I hear 'Somebody's Baby' I think of Sue....like I am right now.

Jackson Browne. A total classic American legend. Awesome song. Great singer. One of his best.

[@rickalexander2801]

A high school buddy of mine who played in a garage band suggested I listen to a singer named Jackson Browne. That was in 1972. Been listening to him ever since and seen him live in concert many times.

[@shadowfrost__]

Jackson Browne has to be one of, if not the most overlooked artist from the 70's. He is responsible for one on of the Eagles biggest hits "Take It Easy". He wrote the first half of the song and could not for the life of him figure out how to finish it. He was stuck on the line "I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona". Glen Frey of the Eagles was living below him at the time and Browne gave the Eagles the song after Frey finished the lyric "I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. Such a fine sight to see, it's a girl my lord, in a flat bed ford slowing down to take a look at me". The song was the Eagles debut single and took the song to #12 and never looked back.

[@robertwalker1803]

And when you add he can play the heck out of a piano and guitar…he is the total package.

[@larryhalbrook6874]

I've been listening to Jackson Browne ever since the early 80s and his music never gets old. If you get a chance listen to his song "Tender is the Night". You won't be disappointed.

I believe you’ll be impressed. He is a blues/soul/rock type singer.

[@leekrick6051]

This was from the early 80’s (83), but his best masterpieces were from the 70’s. You have to do “Late For The Sky”, “For A Dancer” and “Fountain Of Sorrow”. Another great one was “The Pretender” from 1976.

There's a movie in the works about the guys in the band, Immediate Family, who were the studio/touring musicians for Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, Carole King, Keith Richards and more. Unlike the artists of the '60s in The Wrecking Crew who got no credits on the recordings of the Righteous Brothers, Everly Brothers, Mamas & Papas, Beach Boys, Byrds, Monkees, Frank Sinatra and many more, these guys were listed by name on nearly all the albums they recorded, and were named by the stars when they were on tour. When you get to see the movie later this year (hopefully) this is one of the featured songs co-written by one of the Immediate Family guys and featuring him and another on this 1982 recording.
