Classic Gary Wright song. Just discovered how many bad covers there are of this. The Olivia Newton John clip is eye candy for the guys.

Jimi Jamison did a cover of it on his "Empires" CD.

I should add though that Jamison's version is great!

Thanks for the nod, listening to it right now. You're right, that's a good cover. Definitely sounds Survivorish.

Towards end its kinda got the whacka whacka guitar like the Shaft song.

Hey -

I think JSS did a cover of that with "Eyes" - in fact, I heard it last night on the way to work! It's on "Windows of the Soul"!

As great as Olivia Newton-John looks in that clip, even better is the comment about 4 or 5 replies down from the guy talking about sex on the stage.

I think Joan Osbourne's is the best and that's not saying much. LOL
