That's one of two songs that we recognized when we went to a concert to hear BJ Thomas and Billy Joe Royal tonight. The other was "Raindrops keep falling on my head". These guys came along when our boys were growing up and I guess we never listened to their music. It was b-o-r-i-n-g! Besides they are getting old now and it was hard for them to jump about on the stage and hit those high notes. Their band was fantasic, especially the drummer from 
Pembroke, NC who has been with BJ Thomas for 28 years and the bass guitar player from Fayetteville, NC who has spent 30 years with him. I spent the evening watching the drummer perform.
There was a big crowd of people who grew up with these guys and they enjoyed singing along and clapping, and some even got up and danced! The auditorium was packed with seats added to the aisles. A full house!
We're looking forward to the February concert, "Three Redneck Tenors" from Paris, TX (where we lived in the 60s and 70s). I wonder if they are really from Paris. Google these guys and listen to them on U-tube. They sound like Pavorotti (however you spell that name).
We're so fortunate to have an Arts Alliance in our area to bring a variety of concerts during the year. They alternate playing in Elba and Enterprise.
When we got home, I had an email from a friend with a link to a website for Il Divo, and we both said we would have rather heard Il Divo sing; more our kind of music! Google them to hear them sing (Il Divo.com) on UTube.
