Wasn't aware of the Manhattan Transfer version.

It's more general and less personal.

Croce's is great, he really tells a story through the song and you understand how he feels about the ex girlfriend he's thinking about and trying to reach.

Dated references though... telephone operator? A dime to make a call?

This song would not exist in this day and age, and that is unfortunate.

@SumKindaMunster Agreed. Try finding a public phone...But people evolve more slowly, so the emotions are still the same..But Manhattan Transfer are just musically a master class. And had a great cabaret style act as well.😷

I saw Manhattan Transfer live in the mid-70s - I really only went to accompany a female friend who loved them. They were absolutely brilliant - their versatility never came out in their released work.

@ArtieKat And this performance could have been a live cut. Their live quality was that good. 😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I've not actually listened to what you posted yet - I'm at work.
