Your playful dissection of "Torn Between Two Lovers" was VERY enjoyable reading. So funny that you wrote that Jess thinks your reading of that line was wrong; I'm with her. :-)  It was another brilliant Mellow Gold post by you, great job.

But, one of her facets definitely was mellow. I agree on your assessment of mellow vs. pure cheese, and both the songs you cited indeed are more on the cheese side.  Elaine, I'm old. I can timeline it for you. Actually, you are right on, except that Roberta Flack would belong with the first group (the big ole girl JT, Carly and Carole as the forefathers of mellow) - the others were around during that time, too, but not having hits until later on. I think you did a good job with that! David,
