One of the better Box of Rain,well sung nicely played. Cos the vocals are so important to this song I would wish others to hear it and vote it up.

Il ove these 1976 versions as Donna gets to sing -no screeching. Same with Sunshine Daydream and Stella Blue. Turn on, tune in and turn back time 40 years. You won't regret it.

Just absolutely gorgeous,jazzy jamfest-with little tinkling bells and chimes on at the end. A cliche on this site ,I know, but more folks need to listen to this-25 minutes that will enhance your life.
