In that period, he was kinda a nobody, but he put on a spectacular show (he included his daughter in the show). Soon after a saw him, I noticed came-back from the doldrums. Solid songwriter even if it wasn’t stuff I was really interested in.

I have Sirius FN satellite radio in my car and this one channel yacht rock plays the song all the time. I heard it yesterday and was humming along with it !

RIP Neil you brought great music into our lives in the 70’s !

We I saw him, he mostly performed all his Brill Building pop/bubble gum music. Solid music, but not my thing.
