This is another song that I initially liked a lot, but it got played on the radio so much (back when listening to the radio was the only way to hear music you didn’t own) that I grew sick to death of it.
I agree one of those songs if you don’t hear very often/ or have heard very often- not bad- but more than a couple times a year..gets old.
used to have this on 45rpm. i think the label was a turquoise blue
