Only found out recently that this song was originally.done by Badfinger. They did not think much of it. When Nilsson recorded it he originally had Keith Emerson of ELP on keyboards but the producer thought it was too heavy. So he brought in Gary Wright of "Dream Weaver"fame for piano.

Interesting. Great song.

For @psuro - great bass line here by one of my favorites, Peter Hook of Joy Division. Really good example of his unique ‘bass as lead guitar’ style.

Fun fact to know - ‘She’s Lost Control’ is about an epileptic woman who used to visit singer Ian Curtis at his day job which was to pay the sick and elderly who couldn’t work their disability checks. Ian was an undiagnosed epileptic at the time which would sometimes plague him on stage.
