Try sitting on the back porch with your fiancee on a spring evening with some cheese, a bottle (or 3) of Chianti, and some Stephen Bishop playing you into the night as the sun sets - there is nothing quite like it. - Great song!
Man...I've become a huge fan in the last year (I know, I'm WAY late!). Bought this album on vinyl last sumer and big hooked on this guys music ever since. I'd only known of "on and on" being played so much on the radio when I was like 5. What a talent this guy is. Certain Jason Mraz songs remind me of him.
One of his very best songs. Love the emotion and soul of the song - very creative and heart felt. Bought all of his albums in the 70s. The USA had some great artists during that era including Rupert Holmes, Dean Friedman and Stephen Bishop - all of whom produced some finely crafted tunes.
Outstanding quality while it lasts, almost appears to stumble at the cut off, which wouldn't have mattered. What a classic performance it must have been to see live.
do you have the full video of this? SB is also a master of the acoustic guitar. He's one of the older artists who stuck to his love for the acoustic guitar and used it with his nice compostions.
hola!!! can't believe i found this here. i absolutely love this song but can't even find a cd or a place to download it. can you please send me the whole vid? tnx a ton! :-)
One of favorite song of his. Its one of his less popular tunes. Thanks for posting this video, I had his autograph when he came here in the Philippines a few years. I was a bit lucky to meet him because he's such a good balladeer. Thanks a lot!
What a beautiful mellifluous tone that comes from his throat. Very unique.

Stephen's voice is so close on this video to the original recording, I thought it was dubbed. Wow. Good job Stephen.

Well, I've been married for over 20 years now, but back in my single days the album this was from (Careless) served me very well with the ladies ;-)
