I'm 66 now but I missed a lot of eighties music due to working and poor health but caught up later and so glad I did. I loved Nick's singles and his appearance at Live Aid. ☮️☮️👍👍😁😁🎸🎸🏴🏴🏴🏴

But just search for it , and you'll find it. The songs that really touches your heart is out there.

How did he ever get a drummer like Vinnie Colaiuta back in the 80's to play with him? It is like having Bill gate or Steve Job selling computers at a retail store. That certainly raised his reputation in the sheer musical level. I used to think he was nothing but a "one-hit wonder" artist. Now I listen very carefully of his music. Thanx for posting.

I always thought this song was SO good but TOO short - should have had a third verse. But just realized that it's 4:30 long! Feels like it goes by very quickly, like a 3:30 song. I guess it seems to go by quickly because it's SUCH a great song.
