Paul Davis (1976) Superstar

 An interesting ode to his fellow contemporaries, Paul Davis being one of the most under appreciated singer songwriters and soft rock artists of the 70s. The hit single from his album, Southern Tracks and Fantasies, that pays tribute to superstar singer songwriter combos such as Elton and Bernie,  Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell and name checking Linda Ronstadt' Heart Like A Wheel album.  It's an interesting idea for a pop song to reference other artists.  Ironically the song is best in its non referential side "The 6'98 sounds so great and I just can't wait to hear you sing it, come on and sing it." refrain. The driving bass line reminds me of the Knight Rider theme while the funky wah wah synthesisers add a Starbucks feel keeping this song rooted in the mid 70s.
