I’ll never understand how Clapton, of all people, made this a hit in the US.

I grew considering this the quintessential Nilsson song. Hard to believe it was a cover.

Side trip to Malaga, staying in a beach town west of there called Torremolinos. We hit the giant market/promenade downtown. Tourist central. We got lost going down some old steps into a side district that wound down a hill to the beach. Very old and very cool. Tomorrow- Malaga!

The idea was to post the original, yes. But I got the idea. Mention the cover in the comments.

Jay Litwicki @jaylitwicki.bsky.social · 2d

Ah yes.

This one should get an honorable mentioned just for the title! The Beats wished they were Miller. Truth told, the lot of them are pretty cringe today.

If you don’t enjoy the cheese you should avoid Steinman. For those of us with lower tastes, it doesn’t get any better! Now excuse me while I go cue up Total Eclipse of the Heart.
