What can be said?
Recently, there have been news reports, interviews and a heck of a lot of attention on a particular personal interest story. This is one of those times where if I mention how I feel, it would be similar to what others have said. Thus, I found on YouTube a higher quality video of a song which, though never a hit, became a staple for two artists. The first, Robert Palmer (1949-2003) found it to be one of the better songs he did without having written it. The second, Andy Fraser (1952-2015), wrote this piece just before coming out and declaring his sexual orientation. Both were highly influential pop and rock artists that lived different lives that I do not have time to delve into. Yet, the message of this song is one I agree with. And it is a high watermark on both these artists' lives.
As an added bonus, here is Andy Fraser performing a song many of you will recognize that he also wrote.
It was amongst the last gigs Andy Fraser did before he passed away last month. Both of these artists are missed immeasurably.
