In reply to: RickHenry 's message, "Notes on Karen's unreleased solo tracks" on 23:41:18 03/22/03 Sat

It's a nightmare trying to find this information but I can tell you that Paul Jabara wrote "Somethings Missing" and according to the A&M Press Release in 1979 concerning Karens solo project, Paul wrote at least two songs for the Solo Album.

Rod Temperton wrote "Lovelines" & "If We Try" but apparently wrote several tracks for the album

Paul Simon wrote "Still Crazy After All These Years" and I believe he also wrote "I Do It For Your Love"

Peter Cetera wrote "Makin' Love In The Afternoon" but I am unsure if he is directly connected to "Love Makin' Love To You" or not

Thats as much as I know at the moment - still searching for info though - I'll keep ya posted if anything else turns up

I liked some of the work he did for the movie "Thank God It's Friday" which starred Donna Summer. I've heard that Olivia Newton- John provided background vocals on "Don't Try To Win Me Back Again."

Author: Rick Henry [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 23:06:53 03/26/03 Wed I have a 7" single from "Thank God It's Friday" by Paul Jabara called "Trapped In A Stairway". It's quite a lightweight disco song - not my favorite from the soundtrack. Although Donna Summer's "Last Dance" is one of the greats of all-time. Paul Jabara wrote "Last Dance".

I must admitt that "Don't Try To Win Me Back Again" is very much a song in Olivia's style. I have always thought so and could imagine it alongside her other tracks on the fantastic album "Totally Hot" (My Favourite O.N.J Album).

I was not aware that Olivia may be on the backing vocals. That is interesting.

Thsong itself is has a deeply sad meaning and having been in that situation, I shudder to think what the writer must have gone through to find the inspiration for such chilling lyrics "A Lost Love who is lost all over again and a heart that cannot take any further pain"

I have never seen the movie "Thank God It's Friday". May have to try and rent it sometime

Author: Sammy [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:17:26 03/28/03 Fri My favorite Olivia album was "Don't Stop Believing", it included ofcourse the title song and "Every Face Tells A Story" and "Sam". As much as I enjoyed Olivia, Anne Murray, Helen Reddy and others in the 70's Karen always remained my favorite.

Author: Boat2Sail [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:08:42 03/30/03 Sun I remember when I first heard Olivia's "A Little More Love". It was great, it had an edge to it. I went out and bought it right away.
