| Interesting. There must be a few Jim songs that should be more famous than they are. I noticed that Making Love Out Of Nothing At All has never been a hit in the UK. The Air Supply version (which was a huge hit in America) went to 83 in the UK charts. Then Bonnie recorded it and it went to only number 45 in the UK charts. And usually the UK gets Jim more than anyone. And, like It Just Won't Quit, it's a great song. > > I wish this song would never get another release or > > something.
