Good song
But I like this one better ,,the one that made him famous if I am not mistaken and of coarse Broadway

@Bootsiebaby I know his first hit that got radio play were people knew who he was, was Breezin ,it went triple Platinum But the first hit that got people really buzzing about him that the "Common Folk " heard on FM was Broadway
That song was played non stop
I don't know how old you are ,but I do think you mentioned it before
But we had not had even colored TV very long
a lot of people were still listing to AM radio
I got my love for soul music and jazz from a juke box in a coffee shop ,,,and one 45 that got a lot of play was Broadway
And when it comes to grammar ,you have to excuse my ignorance ,,I am a musician ,not a writer
and even that I play by ear ,I can read a little music
but I hear and feel it ,and just play
Thats the only place I am really good at expressing myself .
I don't even like talking to the fans ,cause I am always afraid I will say something stupid ,,,
As I often seem to do on SW

@Bootsiebaby see young people don't seem to get
we had not even had TV long when I was a boy
Hardly anyone had an FM radio
And a lot changed in 10 yrs ,,since the net and cell phones
now its a totally different world
All the men where I come from quit school in the 9th grade to work ,,you did not need a college degree to commercial fish ,,The only things that saved me was I was smart enough to pass a naval battery test to get into the service ,,and my music ,,it has opened a lot of doors for me that would have never opened otherwise
But I was always afraid of showing I was not as educated as some who were not near as successful as I was ,but the knew how to talk and write pretty ,and some how that made them feel somehow like they were still better then me
So I was the best at what I knew how to do ,
build things and play music ,,,I hired managers to talk and write letters for me
