Whoa! I love Billy's song, and have been a fan of a lot of the stuff Marx has done, but never encountered this version! Great find!

It's one of my absolute favourites from both of these legends. I first heard this when Billy did a concert for the BBC's Old Great Whistle Test show.
This was recorded by Richard Marx in 1993, and released as a bonus track on international versions of his album Paid Vacation. So we got this in the UK but probably not the US. Spotify only has the regular US album, no extras, so the only place you'll find it is on YT or if you have the CD.

Here's Billy on that BBC concert from 1978. One of the first shows we ever recorded on our Ferguson Video star VHS recorder. We kept that tape for decades, the concert is just brilliant.

They let you bring a recorder to tape the show?

We taped it from the TV on our newly acquired VHS video recorder.
Now you've got me thinking of what it would have been like to have been at that concert. Even then in '78 he had all these massive songs, many musicians would have dined out on them for the rest of their careers, he was only just starting.
