The sublime vocalist and interpreter, Jennifer Warnes began her brilliant career years before this record came out, but it was her breakthrough hit in 1977. 35 years ago, it began climbing the charts in Australia, after a successful run in America. While only scraping into the Top 40 downunder, it was the song that brought her to my attention, and i have been an avid fan ever since. Her soundtrack songs, rarities on compilations and her all too rare solo albums have become treasured gems in my collection and in my heart. I wrote to Ms Warnes several years ago, and she responded with the utmost grace, warmth and humility - all i wanted and hoped for but never expected from such a huge star and talent. She is all class. A voice of such warmth, texture and depth.
