There's a line in this that goes 'better than a body has a right to be', and folding out the full colour poster sleeve you get a good demonstration. It really is a wonderful song, you can't really like it but you do. There's a couple of Barry Manilow songs that are such good songs in terms of structure and melody, and this is one of them. I'd buy it for the poster meself, it's got class. We were trying to get her to cover one of our songs, we wanted her to do a country version of "Karma", but whether she'll get round to it I don't know. It'd be great.

A timely re-release of this hit from '77, as Dolly popped up on TV only last Saturday in the excellent 9 To 5. There's something remarkably attractive about Dolly's confident Tennessee voice and this is as good a time to get to know it as any. (Paul Simper, No 1, March 17, 1984)
