Paul Carrack "Love Will Keep Us Alive"

I wrote about Squeeze earlier this week, and it prompted me to write about Paul Carrack yesterday.

I'd had no idea that his resume was so extensive.

One of the most interesting stories, is that he did some sessions for a record with former Eagles Don Felder and Timothy B Schmidt.

However, the album was never completed, because "Hell Freezes Over," The Eagles surprising and/or inevitable reunion album happened.

But one of the songs from the Carrack/Felder/Schmidt session made it to The Eagles record.

"Love Will Keep Us Alive," co-written by Carrack, was the most-played song in America in 1995.

He was tapped again, when The Eagles put out "Long Road Out Of Eden" in 2007. Carrack's song "I Don't Want To Hear Anymore" was part of that hugely successful double album.

That's good mailbox money!

Here's Carrack, singing the song that The Eagles scored big with.
