Dreamline1 Member	***** ...noch bin ich ja bei meinen "liebsten 300 tracks...der hier hat einen platz ganz weit vorn....
Dino-Ticino Member	**** Geht eigentlich fast schon in Richtung Schlager.... Gute 4.
fleet61 Member	****** ... das wusste ich bis jetzt nicht, dass Linda Ronstadt hier mitgewirkt hat, auf alle Fälle ein wunderschöner Song!
DJ Kavalo Member	**** Erg sfeervol countrynummer van The Dirt Band, met de mooie vocale steun van Linda Ronstadt! 4+
Der_Nagel Member	**** Von diesem entspannt präsentierten Countrytitel existiert auch eine deutsche Fassung von Jürgen von der Lippe (So ein Kamel) – 4*…
KVG Member	***** Heel mooie hit van The Dirt Band uit 1979.
Patrick7781 Member	****** sterk werk
Sincubus Member	***** Leuk en catchy nummertje! Een van de betere nummers van 1980, van de gehele jaren 80 vind ik 1980/1981 en 1988 de minste jaren, maar dit soort nummers maken dat helemaal goed! Last edited: 25/01/2011 14:18
oldiefan1 Member	***** mir auch
Fritz260449 Member	***** gefällt mir sehr gut
LULA Member	***** Nett und angenehm, weht wie eine leichte Brise... Last edited: 16/05/2010 17:46
Richard (NL) Member	**** Mooie Country song. (Ook zo'n vergeten song)
aloysius Member	*** Ach nein, klingt nach gar nichts. Halb Country Musik mit einer Portion Karibik, das kann nicht gut kommen.
remember Member	**** sehr lieb :-)
begue Member	***** Sehr schönes Stück aus dem Jahr 1979.
hojohojo Member	****** so einfach - und so grandios - voila a Highscore
AllSainter Member	*** Na ja ...
28/05/2008 00:01 frankd69 Member	***** Das weckt Erinnerungen...
03/01/2008 15:41 Bentleyboy Member	**** Schöne Nummer ... weckt Kindheitserinnerungen, da ich von 78 bis 84 mit meinen Eltern in USA lebte (Dad war bei der Luftwaffe in El Paso) und bei uns sowas dauernd im Radio lief ...
28/05/2007 23:30 Philo Member	**** angenehmer radiotitel...stört nicht weiter
14/05/2007 20:06 Snormobiel Beusichem Member	*** ▓ In Holland was deze plaat van "The Dirt Band" met behulp van "Linda Ronstadt", in april / juni 1980, een grote hit !!! Ik kom nu net niet verder dan drie sterrren !!! (NL Top 40: 10 wk / # 3) !!!
12/04/2007 14:20 Homer Simpson Member	***** ...sehr gut...
23/08/2005 19:23 Marillion Member	***** schöner angenehmer Song, so macht Country Laune, wobei es ja teilweise um die Karibik geht :)
09/05/2004 14:07 Rewer Moderator	**** ...gut...
10/04/2004 22:01 southpaw Member	***** Schöne easy listening Nummer, mit Unterstützung von Linda Ronstadt eine # 13 Anfang 1980 in den USA.
