    Well, that's good to hear! A tiny chink of light in the gloom
    surrounding that flight.
    
    Accordingly I've changed the title of this note by adding "not".

    wrong 8^)

304.7Hope no one ever decides to ruin the O'Jays numberAYOV28::DROBBHere at the dude ranch above the seaThu Jan 05 1989 11:488
    You're right fellas, the classic "Love Train" was indeed performed
    by the O'Jays in the early '70s - however, Holly's news single is
    *not* the a cover of this.  From memory of the blurb I read about
    it in the music press, it's a new self-penned number, and pretty
    good it is too.  Hardly essential, but distinctive by way of the
    well mixed-upfront vocals.  Should be a hit.
