Love the Private Dancer LP and play it occasionally. The B-side on this release is such a great track too.

Thanks Paul 🙂

Congratulations to Karen and yourself, Jeff. 22 years. And time has flown by, has’t it. I’m not married but we’ve been together for 27 years now. Unbelievable. It’s a gift to have found someone you wish to be by your side until the end.

Hugs.

Fabulous song in Ms Turner´s fabulous cover version. Gosh, I LOVE Tina. I have nothing more to say 🙂

Except: I am thankful that she is still with us. We have lost too many great ones already.
