You know there's a Donald Fagen track ("True Companion") on it, too, right?<br /><br />I did pick up the <b>Endless Love</b> because it had Kiss's "I Was Made For Lovin' You" - my Mom had prevented me from buying their <b>Dynasty</b> album a couple years earlier and I kind of forgot about it until reading the back cover of <b>Endless Love</b>. Also the <b>Arthur</b> single back then, too. And my Dad loved <b>The Jazz Singer</b> soundtrack with my favorite track being "America". My sister bought the "9 To 5" single so I didn't have to - we stretched our music dollars by almost never buying the same stuff. Our tastes were surprisingly close back then but she is hopelessly lost to Top 40 nowadays.HERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361888365133381438noreply@blogger.com
