Originally recorded by Whitaker in 1971 and then became popular in the US in 1975 when it hit the charts after some Dj from one station started playing it daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Rasputin a few years back….I kept telling myself “ I keep hearing this on the radio, but the genre doesn’t sound very new”…….😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through your 70's, that's the challenge. I'm confident about to 70 and would bet on it. I might lock myself away for the tricky 71 - 80 years and then have a blast for 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at the numbers before, It seems if you make it to 80 there is a fair chance you will make it to 89-90... A whole boatload of people die at 90......But if you make it to 91 you might live to 95.....But 95 is pretty much the end of the road for almost everyone except the very very very few that make it to 100.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
