I beg to differ, I think it's one of the best things they ever did together.geoff85 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:54 pm After all these years I attempted to listen the Carole Bayer Sager album this track is on. I hate to say this but it was really bad and i mean really really bad not even Burt could save it. I have a new respect now for Hals relationship in the tandem and the triad(where Dionne is concerned). Carole Bayer Sager wrote so many good songs for other ppl but that album was like al the left over stuff just compiled into one record with the exception of the song with Michael and maybe one or two others.
I found the songs way too meandering for my tastes They felt unstructured and amorphous. Fine people of taste can disagree. Seems dissent draws ppl out of the shadows more than agreement roun these parts lolblueonblue wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 5:46 amI beg to differ, I think it's one of the best things they ever did together.geoff85 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:54 pm After all these years I attempted to listen the Carole Bayer Sager album this track is on.

'blue'
STOP!!!!!!(I gotta do the Supremes hand motion) you are going too far. Pet Sounds level??? People of fine tastes can disagree but my goodness. Redirect me to the 3 best songs on the album not including the Jacko track ill give it a relisten.BarryPugh47 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 8:03 am I applaud you 'Blue on Blue.' for disagreeing. "Sometimes Late at Night" is one of my favorite albums of all time (along with: Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" - Stephen Bishop "Careless" - Kenny Loggins "Leap of Faith" - Billy Joel "The Stranger" - Michael Ruff "Speaking in Melodies" and San Sebastian Strings "The Sea, The Earth and The Sky" --must not forget the unforgettable Richard Harris "The Yard Went On Forever!").
The overall production, arrangement, song quality, and all the ancillary stuff which make a great album are here on this Carole/Burt masterpiece.
Goodness me - it's a bit like someone saying they love music but don't like Stevie Wonder!
