This album is the best. Please buy it so Carole can get more royalties and maintain her lifestyle.

If you are familiar with this album, then you know it will carry you back to an uncomfortable young stage of your life where you thought you knew a lot, but you actually did not. There was someone you wanted to meet, but you were as shy as a violet. Later, after you managed to forge a relationship with that person, something (developing wisdom?) told you it really might be best to leave while you're in love, before you forget the meaning of the word -- and after things cratered, you seriously entertained thoughts of being dumb enough to steal away again.
If you were that age when you first heard it, you know it's a tear-jerker left over from those times that were so tender and meaningless, though heavy with the potential for romantic errors and worse. Save up the [$$$]and buy it, as an anthem to the relief of having all that inexperience behind you. Lessons learned.

While the composer really can't sing all that well, it really doesn't matter. The album features some great tunes Bayer Sager wrote way back when, and it's interesting to hear her take on those tunes; it's also fun to hear the later luminaries who assist on the some of the tracks: Peter Allen, Melissa Manchester, Bette Midler. My particular favorite, because of its nutty lyrics, is "You're Moving Out Today." I have always loved this song; it's just too crazy not to love. As well, there's the touching "Come in From the Rain," and "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love." The charts take you right back to the 70s; they are so typical of the musical arrangements of the era. All in all, it's a nice trip back into the past.

Not a great voice but she writes some of the best lyrics
I am asked not to play her music without earphones. Her voice will irritate some. But for those of us who have "grown" to love this woman's lyrics and contribution to pop... Read more

Truly a GREAT album, even better on CD
I was introduced to Carol Bayer Sager's album when I was in college in the late 70's. I was mesmerized by her sultry voice that was also filled with innocence and heartbreak. Read more

I bought this cassette many years ago in a sale bin and loved it. The truth in her phrasing and hearing her do her own music is a real treat. Read more

Why wasn't this a hit album?
With all the bad pop music out there, and with Carol Bayer Sager's reputation as one of the priemier songwriters, I have always wondered why her two albumns didn't become hits. Read more
