@friendlytec , How did you find this upload if you don’t like it,? Just curious.
I found this as I am on your subscribe list, as you previously uploaded my favorite song of all times ( Honey) by Bobby Goldsbro, which still happens to be my favorite song of all time.
I even have it downloaded, and 42 years on it still remains deep in my heart, I also used to play it as a professional musician many moons ago..I therefore am interested to see what other songs and Artists that you may come up with in the future, as you sure got that one right lol.
@friendlytec, no interest in the writeup of this video erither?
In respect of this particular upload, No, but in respect of Honey, well yes, it brings back so many personal memories, I am now 62 (English Born) living 24 years in Brazil,and previously was in Cyprus for 18 years, where I first heard this song.I loved the arrangement, especially the backing choir (of Angels) the words of the song although I have to admit are rather sad, I used to play and sing this song in various musical groups,and I think I will go to my grave listening to this.Thank you
