"Wives and Lovers"

Mike Clifford

"Dim all the lights, 
Pour the wine and start the music, Time to get ready for love" - Wives and Lovers, Jack Jones

Former Teen Idol Mike Clifford of Close To Cathy fame has released  his latest song. He's paying tribute to the late Jack Jones covering his hit "Wives and Lovers." 

Here's some 411:

"Jack Jones was a great popular singer. During his career he was nominated for five Grammys. He won two. One for "Lolipops & Roses" and one for"Wives & Lovers." We lost Jack in 2024, but his music will live forever. As a tribute, Mike has recorded a new version of "Wives & Lovers," with an excellent arrangement by Maurice Gainen. This song was written by musical titans, Burt Bacharach and Hal David."

Also for a more contemporary reference the song plays under the opening credits of The First Wives Club starring Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler & Diane Keaton.

Confidence

With "May The 4th Be With You" landing this week, it brought a plethora of memes. Star Wars related or ones related the iconic cast of the original series.

This quote from Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia herself came through on one of my Social Media feeds.

Confidence does come from action, no doubt about it. Yet you can be afraid as long as you do it anyway.

Just Do It! Indeed...
