Amazing voice. Disagree that this is a Jim style song. Absolutely, completely different in my opinion. The rhythm of the verse and chorus lines in that song are in fact almost the opposite of how Steinman composes in my opinion. Surely something from Whistle can be considered sounding MUCH, MUCH closer to how Steinman songs sound! I would go as far as arguing some of the music in Whistle was clearly written or inspired by Steinman which would have been impossible for JCS anyway as no-one had heard of Steinman in those days.
