I love this song, too. I have heard about people putting on the LP when it first came out in '76 and playing this one over and over. My wife and I used to do this live as a duet, she sang backups and did trumpet in the horn parts. My God I miss her.........
i just discovered this song last year, and i pushed repeat on the cd player and listened to this song over and over for about a month.....bet you and your wife sounded amazing.
I remember the day my good friend John Sommers finished the first draft of this song.....he was young and falling in love with a beautiful girl and it was Aspen....and he caught that wonderful emotion beautifully.....
I have listened to John nearly all my life and without doubt In the grand way is the best and my all time fave song I got married to it playing as well as the words read before I got married I will never be tired of the song and I turn to it when I am a bit down. I wish I could thank him for this wonderfull song that is part of my life and will be until the day I die.
this is my favorite vocal that John did, i feel so much when i hear this, not to sound too cheesy. i am glad others recognize what a great song, thanks for posting it. if anyone knows if he ever did it live, would be nice to see or hear.
Breathtaking. Stunningly beautiful. Rest in Peace John. Your music still touches us.

Man, JD wrote so many, many great songs, how can anybody EVER pick just one? It's impossible. I had totally forgotten about this one! It rocks.
