wikid: 'In 2000, Wakeman released an instrumental version of "Morning Has Broken" on an album of the same title. That same year he gave an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live in which he said he had agreed to perform on the Cat Stevens track for £10 and was "shattered" to be omitted from the credits, adding that he never received the money either.'
I have a couple Carpenters documentaries and they're wondrous. Any backup player who diverged from what was on the record, Karen pushed him out of the plane on the way home. Heard 'em once at the Garden State Arts Center.
I posted a thread one time asking folks to name their favorite love song ballad... it was great and got a ton of replies. lol. I love those sappy power- ballads! great to drive to and sing along. ;-)
i also like rock, and other types of music - mostly because the music categories i refer to is the stuff i heard as a kid- all different genres from my mom, ( johnny mathis, manilow, Kenny rogers, dean martin m Pavarotti) dad, (glen Campbell, ) older bros, (van halen, aerosmith, nugent, Clapton, etc) older sis, (earth wind & fire, Chicago, bee gees)) middle sisters.. (joe Jackson, journey, oingo boingo, ) etc. plus my 80s stuff. m mp3 is chock full. There's something about music you heard as a kid that stays in your soul forever. cant explain it.
I also posted a thread years ago demanding that 4um posters "NAME A JEW THAT YOU LIKE!" it was swamped too, with replies.
for some reason the search feature here does not work very well and those threads must be lost in internet eternity somewhere. ;-)

Sure would like to see those. Favorite love song ballad -- that's a tough one. Some of the greatest were written for the worst purpose -- to romanticize World War Jue (I'll be Seeing You, Love Letters, I'll Walk Alone). This is certainly one of the most entrancing arranging and recording jobs -- well, youtube can hardly do it justice
I've never denied Jues have talent. They do, and that's actually BIG part of the problem...... Now this forgotten instrumental carries more love than lots of lyrics -- turn it UP:
never heard that one from Streisand- I like her stuff from the 70s& 80s, . (Plus, she's married to James Brolin who's a 911 truther!)
I'm not sure if you ever saw this one video I made way back when. It features bob seager beautiful loser.. it's called THE RON PAUL BUMPER STICKER IS STILL ON MY CAR. It is very special. several people actually told me it made them cry. :-) The video clip with the guys at the tonight show seeing ron is me. (the white guy in the black shirt). I did not record that video segment. it was a clip from some ron paul group, and someone at church in 2007 actually told me about it, that 'they saw me on tv.' LoL.

If you're asking in regards to the video above, I think that is Billy Preston, but I'm not sure of that.

Thank you for helping; I had done some research, found the name Rick Wakeman, and figured that the huge difference in appearance meant that the pianist was some other person.

That looks to be Billy Preston on the video, he and Cat Stevens were both with A&M at that time. Wakeman played on the album.
