...thursday tune: always and forever

Christmas is days away and there's so much work to do. It's party time and major maintenance is required, if you know what I mean. I'll leave you today with 2 versions of one of the sweetest, saddest love songs of all time. I realize that this is not at all Christmasy, but I am just NOT IN THE MOOD. I'd rather listen to this...

Great live version by Heatwave, in their funny 70s performance outfits. The funny looking dude at keyboard wrote all their songs.

Mista Lutha Vandross... I miss this voice.

Heartbreaking! Which version do you prefer?

And this has nothing to do with anything, but evidence suggests that the two pictured below are now a couple. This is very disturbing.
