Hey Paul
Good to have you back. I need a bit of cheering up after a distrastrous humiliation in soccer yesterday evening so thank you for this wonderful song. I do not think I ever heard the 12inch version before but as dear Jeff mentioned with Jellybean you never can go wrong.
Love it.

Great Jellybean mix indeed. I remember hearing it at one of my local clubs around 85.

Thanks for the revival, Paul 🙂

Thanks a lot Paul for this re-rip. I love this song and the Jellybean mixes are awesome. Mister Benitez made such great work on these 12″ mixes during the 80’s. Will have to compare this new rip to the one you posted a few years ago but I’m already sure that this mastering will sound better.

I’m so pleased you’re back Paul!! I almost started to worry, but then I saw the announcement on your Facebook page and then I started to relax a bit. Thanks for this great Eric Carmen 12-inch. I do remember it from my days working on our Adult Contemporary radio station in college. I can’t wait to hear this 12-inch mix because Jellybean always kept integrity with the songs he remixed. Many thanks for this one Paul.

Honestly, I never go to Facebook…and you have to be a member to read your Facebook posts, Paul. Before people reply that that is not true, it is…visiting Paul’s Facebook page throws up a banner blocking 80% of Paul’s page so I cannot read his posts. As a web developer, I would recommend that you post your away-messages to this Blog (as well as copy to Facebook if you wish) like I have seen you do dozens of times. People just won’t think to go visit your other sites (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.) looking for information when they are already… Read more »
