RIP. I knew him mainly for writing the Eagles hits, as well as the fact that he had a top 40 hit duetting with James Taylor on "Her Town Too".

Don’t know if you checked out the video of them doing “Her Town Too” yet (further down in the newsletter) but it’s really, really good! Such a great song and the voices of those two were absolutely perfect together.

I’m so glad! And it gets better and better the deeper you go into the album, IMO. It’s definitely going on my top albums of the year list.

Thanks for sharing your playlist. I’m not sure why but White Rhythm and Blues always gets to me.

Thanks so much for this, Michael. I’m glad you’re checking out the playlist too. That means a lot to me. And that song always gets me too. Well, all of the songs I included here do. I also loved Linda Ronstadt’s cover of that song. (I love everything she does. Linda could do no wrong.)

Definitely agree with you about Linda. She’s always been one of my favorites.

Beginning when I was probably 4 or 5 years old I had the BIGGEST CRUSH on her! I’m sure every young boy growing up in that time did. My mom would tell me I referred to Linda as “my girlfriend.” 😂
