It's not the Howard Jones version...

This is the one that goes

"Open up your eyes,
Then you'll realize,
*something something something*
Everlasting love"

Gloria Estefan covered it in the mid 90s too...

I'm sure you would have heard this one.  It's the song that starts:

Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, coz I love you, yes I do ...

Ringing any bells?

1. Let's Go All The Way - Sly Fox 4, Heh! Used to love this...! Simple 'chug chug' beat with rather vague lyrics...wonder what happened to 'em? (Sly Fox, not the lyrics!)

2. 25 Or 6 To 4 - Chicago 4, super early-ish effort...

3. Coming Around Again - Carly Simon 3, not her best, but okay...

5. Free Fallin' - Tom Petty 3, exact comments as per Carly...

6. Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon 3, big, big slice of AOR...had become a bit 'samey' by that stage in their career...

7. Your Smiling Face - James Taylor 3, once again, not his best work...

9. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel 4, important song from important album, but loses marks for that needless 'third' verse and huge ending, but then, it's got to end somehow...!

10. Everlasting Love - Carl Carlton 3, rather pedestrian version...Robert Knight did the original, but the best version was by the UK's Love Affair (terrific arrangement!)

11. Simply Irresistible - Robert Palmer 3, sounds a bit 'cluttered' and 'rushed'...of course, sadly no longer with us...

13. I'm Into Something Good - Herman's Hermits 4, much better cover of the Earl Jean original...Trivia overload...This was the only Goffin/King composition to top the UK chart...!

17. Hey Jude - Beatles 4, another important song like S&G's, but really didn't need a fadeout that long...

18. Delirious - Prince 2, never been a huge fan...

19. TNT - AC/DC 4, superb rocker from a no-nonsense group...

21. De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da - Police 2, lyrically-wise it's a bit too 'clever', but not much other than that...rather weak...

24. A Lover's Concerto - Toys 4, fine adaptation of a classical piece by Bach for 'girlie' voices...mandamoo, this dates from late-1965 (he said, guessing like mad...)

25. I Can't Dance - Genesis 4, confident strutter by the trio...video was quite amusing...
