"Hearts" sung by Jesse Barish, who wrote the song!

Hi! I'm so excited to share this with you!!! This is my friend Jesse Barish, who wrote "Hearts" for Marty Balin (1981) and "Count on Me" for Jefferson Starship (1978). I recorded him Monday, July 6, singing and playing "Hearts" as he originally wrote it in 1980. Jesse has never been recorded singing this song before, and I'm honored that he let me record it and share it with you. I hope you enjoy it. Check out his website and cd's at www.jessebarish.com. xxoo --Songtruth

An ex-girlfriend introduced me to Jesse Barish in 1980. Fab to hear him again after all this time, brings back many memories; most good. Thanks for uploading.
