Aww, heck yes! Sorry I missed Michael Stanley and his band the first time around. Thank you for posting this ThunderRd!
An old musical friend of mine insists that the original is a great, great song. He has company, thank you for the post ThunderRd!
I know this is one of your faves, Daniel. Must say it's a real fence kicker (sad song).
It's a song that will last forever. Remember the first time you heard it? It blew me away.

After learning what an unconventional song this is I like it better. My brother, may he rest in peace knew Jimmy Webb. I didn't know that JW penned this tune until today. On the ball--or what?
