Fandango (1977) Helpless Heart

Future Rainbow and DP vocalist Joe Lynn Turner first band was an AOR group aiming for Eagles inspired late 70s arena rock and failed till Turner, their guitarist and singer, could spread his wings in a more interesting band. While they had a clutch of songs that the likes of Poco would kill for they lacked the immediate hooks of soft rockers like England Dan and John Ford Colley or lyrical depth of the Eagles. 
Helpless Heart is the most subtle cut off their 1977 debut and their harmonies remind me of another heavy ballad group who also debuted in 1977; Player.
