Luckiest Music Generation: England Dan & John Ford Coley - Love Is the Answer

Todd Rundgren composed the song. England Dan & John Ford Coley threw in a gospel-esque choral bridge, performed by the Jim Gilstrap Singers, and took it somewhere entirely new and epic.



A good cover of an already-lovely Rundgren tune.

I never did get around to asking him if he was related to Jim Gilstrap. I might have to look up John to ask.

While I give that a shot, i highly recommend his book, Nathan's Run. It remind me of a John Grisham book, but written well.
