Billy Swan: I Can Help

For some reason, this song really creeped Kitty out when it was on the radio constantly back in 1974.  "I Can Help" made it all the way up to #1.

The one positive attribute that several listeners pointed out was that it was a perfect roller skating song.

Billy Swan had some earlier success writing songs for country artists, and played bass in Kris Kristofferson's band, but this was his only hit.

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
