Day 84: March 25: On;y One

"...the memory seems like dreams."


This is the era where I started getting into James' music.  It's not his strongest era, but I was old enough to start to appreciate him and this one is one of the prettiest on the That's Why I'm Here album.  I didn't know it at the time, but Don Henley sings backup on this track and you can even catch a couple of glimpses of him in this video.  My father-in-law reportedly wasn't a fan of this song because it was so repetitive.  It's a fair point, but in my mind it's pretty enough to overcome that shortcoming.



Speaking of Don Henley on backing vocals, I recently rediscovered this track from sometime in the 90's.  It's more of a duet than the last track- and it works really well.  Patty Smyth was the lead singer of the band Scandal and their voices work well together.
