The 100 Greatest Singer-Songwriter Albums of All Time
Thanks to all for your lyrical help in the previous post – the song that I was searching for was “Love Letter” by Bonnie Raitt. Nowhere close to John Parr, but I guess at least I found out from the experience that there is a video for “Naughty, Naughty.” Who knew? I woke up this […]
