Such a beautiful version of a great song! Anyone who hasn't heard Unicorn is missing out on some of the best music ever made...seriously!

Really nicely done video too!

@jvhsound - We are doing our bit to try and get more them more fans. If only people would just take the time to listen and realise what they have been missing. At least, I have recruited Al :-) Thanks for that.

Another super track by a group that you introduced me to Steve. I'll be huming this one all day! Just great!

Thanks,

Al

Has some lovely guitar work in this song, backing vocals in perfect harmony. Very uplifting track. Jimmy Webb was a fantastic songwriter too, who could ever forget MacArthur Park and the hits he gave Glen Campbell. This is a top class version by Unicorn, all round excellence, cheers for uploading it Steve
