I liked it,but my friend and partner in all things didn’t…..thought it was best done by Olivia Newton-John. Also,Victor is about to release a solo album very soon.

Wow. This is certainly one of the best things I think you have ever found. Obscure does not even “cover” it. Good job sir. Thank you.

Sutra is the same label that released Tammy Faye Bakker’s “The Ballad Of Jim & Tammy”…
