I'm responding to something from last month that I couldn't before.
As I mentioned I listened to Whittaker's stuff and was unable to contain my laughter. Overall,no,I really don't know any of his songs at all.

I might listen to "Farewell" if I get a chance,who knows?...maybe I'm wrong.

By the way,I'm going to cease correcting folks about how many hits someone had. I know people don't like being corrected but I'll say that Billy Vera did have 2 other hits but,nobody really remembers them.

There's a lot of acts out there that had one really memorable song but for whatever reason,after that "big one" they have these lesser hits. Makes you wonder why anyone was interested in the first place.

Like when The Bellamy Brothers had that big #1 hit on the pop charts,"Let You Love Flow" and then their only other top 40 entry was,"If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body"....etc. #39.

I just don't get that at all.
