That run of songs in a row is staggering. Only the top one percent of songwriters will ever write a song that comes close to the beauty, breadth and poignancy of “American Tune.” And that was arguably the fifth most popular song of those six, only “Late In The Evening,” a brilliant mix of pop, funk and jazz that had the entire Hollywood Bowl on its collective feet, is possibly lesser known.
