Is is me or are women today not as sophisticated sexy as in the 70's and early 80's?

Over the years I have had many favorites from TORCH, but this one has settled in as my ultimate favorite. Somewhere out there is a claymation video to this track of a little dog waiting patiently for its owner on a rainy day. Someone post it please.

This is one heck of a beautiful song with a whole lot of emotional meaning in it! I wish that music was like this today!

@gazono2. Where did you hear that?? Not true, a fan sent him a poem (Mrs. Thompson) and he was so moved he wrote music to it! Look it up! One of Carlys favorite Lps was Frank Sinatras "We Small Hours" which has an excellent version of it!!!

@tommybass40 I feel as though women of the 70s and 80s had something to prove.  They weren't as concerned with being sexy but with being taken seriously and looked upon equally as men are in the work force and everything else. Which in turn is the sexiest thing of all, an independent confident woman. But now a lot of women are focused on just being sexy rather than being everything they can be. Which makes it unsexy and trying to hard. People are so consumed with looking younger these days.

@spoofmusic2010 You are gonna hate this, but Hoagy Carmichael based this whole song on a story about a couple who were married for a lot of years in middle America, but the guy could never ever tell his wife just how much he really loved her, and when she died he wrote these words....

I have to agree with Sulynn1955 truly the most haunting and saddest version of this classic song-I tend to burst into tears every time I listen to it and I,m a mature male in my late60s you see many years ago there was a lady friend of mine whom I was emotionally rather mean to-and this song reminds me of those days,so yes this beautiful haunting version actually breaks my heart as the lovely lady whom I owe so much 2 passed away without me having the chance to ever 2 speak with her again-

[sulynn1955]

This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. So haunting and sad, it brings you to tears.

My favorite version by far!
