This song with Paul Cotton's soulful voice is timeless! Heaven has an another angel.

[@raystaar]

Back in 68 I was sitting in the bar at the Troubadour when Linda Ronstadt poked her head through the curtains and said, very loudly, "Hey, you guys in the bar need to come in and hear this new band, Poco. They're awesome!" I didn't listen. I may not have had the cash to buy a ticket. I don't remember. Anyway, I didn't go in. I did see them once, live at another club on Melrose, on a double bill with John Fahey. They were great live, just like you see them in these videos. Ah, the old days.

Rusty Young is the most fantastic pedal steel player ever. Great touch to make this a really incredible song.

I think a hundred years from now people will still be listening to and enjoying this song and songs like it.

Fabulous. As i think of yesteryear... Missed badly. Fabulous music! The vocalist imparts tremendous emotion and the slide steel and sax 🎷 flow together like perfection. Tears flow freely.

[@pattyflowers77]

Tears for sure....

Does my body and soul good to hear this song sung and played so very well. What can you say? Timeless? That's for sure and here we are still talking and praising this slice of magic. It's like being on a raft and floating down a peaceful river with a full moon overhead. Perfect, thank you...

[@kwilliams1958]

Love the raft and river metaphor...

Just saw Poco, Pure Prairie League, and Firefall last night. It is unbelievable to sit there and watch these guys sound just as good as they did way back when. Maybe better! Bass player sounds like Don Henley. Then you can meet them all after the show!

This song always brings me great memories.

[@ZepZoSoRox]

I just saw these guys for the third time this last Sunday night (7/12/09) and man, they still kick ass! Richie Furay was the special guest (he lives here in Colorado) and sat in for about 5 songs. You can tell he still LOVES the music!!! Paul is starting to show his age, but then again, so are we, the loyal fans. Rusty Young is still the heart & soul of this spectacular band, in my opinion and I can't wait til I get to see them again. If you can, go see them. You'll be happy you did! Thx POCO!

[@pixieanna2058]

Love this song, this band, and New Orleans! Paul Cotton can still sing beautifully!

Don't give up on Teens, they are in transition just like us. I played all sorts of music for my daughters when they were growing up 50's to 90's, Broadway tunes, Country, Disney, etc. There comes a time when they try their own thing, but you would be surprised how many appreciate 70's and 80's music when they reach college. Maybe there are a lot of blank stares in those high school classrooms but they wake up to the real world when time comes.

[@jpwoods9625]

22 years after appearing on Solid Gold (introduced by Andy Gibb RIP) they sound wonderful. No age limit on rock stars 🌟 - as long as they can get it on - Aloha 🇺🇸🌴

[@wataboutya9310]

The last time I seen Poco perform live was around 1984 at the Desoto Speedway in Bradenton. It was a 4th of July event and Poco was the main event coming on stage just as the sun was going down. Before them had been The Outlaws, and before them had been Molly Hatchet with The Atlanta Rhythm Section opening the show around noon that day. It was one I will never forget. Poco ended the show with Crazy Love and there were thousands of little Bic lighter flames all blowing in the breeze.

[@xylsvos]

I have been listening to Poco since 1977, I was 8 years old. Here I am today listening to my favorite song! I could not live with Paul and Rusty...

[@sushibar777]

I've always been surprised this beautiful song didn't get more airplay when it came out in the last 1970s. Poco's masterpiece, IMHO, and they had lots of other very good stuff, like Barbados, Rose of Cimarron, Call It Love, Crazy Love... Nice arrangement with a clarinet instead of a sax. Like the throatier sound of the sax a bit more, but this works too.
