I did some light teasing in a tongue-in-cheek article, while sincerely giving both Paul and his songs credit. I still listen to all these songs. In fact, just the other day, I was listening to my '80s playlist, and "Cool Night" came on. Instantly, I felt gentle. I’m not sure what I said that was worth multiple exclamation points.

Just to set the record straight: The interview with Paul in which he responded to a question regarding his music was done by Gary James, Edmonton's 92.5 JOE FM. In my anger, I mistyped.

I know you have to be referring to HARE. My sentiments exactly on my first reading, but I recalled what Paul told Captain Craig (many years ago) regarding 'reviews' so didn't respond at that time. However, going on 3 years since Paul's death, I now do have to LOL at the asshole :)))) PS - I also wish he knew the correct words to Paul's songs... LOL @ Angela.

I came to "know" him through his postings to this Yahoo Group:http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/paul_davis/?yguid=93006644Regarding "I Go Crazy" - there is no need to get weird singing about crazy themes. Think about "Crazy after all these Years" by Paul Simon. (Karen Carpenter's version is rather more crazy BTW!) Listen to that version - and especially the vocal harmonies - crazy as hell!"I Go Crazy" held the record for consecutive weeks on American Top 40 at that time - demonstrating it to be the standard still played to this day.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npkQdLFnuXYJason - lets be clear on this - Paul Davis was a very effective popular singer for the period he was working in - when singer/songwriters were in vogue. Further, he demonstrated he could get hits through singing himself, or through the interpretation of others such as Dan Seals. I like this trio:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRo-e6mb4JAAs for the harmonies and chord progressions - there was definitely some creativity there.
