OK, besides this song being a classic, I just had to record it today for two main reasons: 1) the cute image created by me and my pal Gemini, and 2) the chance to ‘play’ a couple of runs on the Glockenspiel (never want to miss that!)

That’s What Friends Are For (3:26)

“That’s What Friends Are For” is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. Although it was first recorded by Rod Stewart in 1982, for the soundtrack of the film Night Shift (I did not know that), of course it is best known for the 1985 version by Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder. That recording was released as a charity single for AIDS research and prevention. It was a massive hit, becoming the number one single of 1986 in the United States, and winning the Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Song of the Year!

Enjoy the glockenspiel!
