I know this song is not on A&M Records (although ED&JFC did do a couple of albums for the label) but I just heard it on the radio and a "nagging question" I've had for years came into my mind. I wonder if anybody else has noticed this?
Toward the end of the song, the two singers alternate singing things like "When you're all alone," "When you're far from home," etc. each time followed by a chorus singing "Love one another." When they get to the line "And when you're down and out," I could swear that voice is Jim Seals (of Seals and Crofts) making a cameo appearance. Of course Jim is England Dan's brother.
Has anyone else noticed this and what do you think? The two guys sound a lot alike, so it could just be Dan sounding like Jim, but it sure sounds different from all the other vocals in the song... to me at least.
Here's a link if you want to give it a listen! The line in question comes up at 2:52.
It's one of my favorite songs by these guys, except for the saxophone in it, I wish they'd left that out. I like the Todd Rundgren & Utopia version a little better.
