Reminder - Jim Vallance co-wrote The Right Place with Bryan Adams
Credit for this idea goes to JAG. Her post on Boogie reminded me of a blurb I had seen a while ago about Vallance doing a series of commentaries about the songs he has written / co-written. So I went hunting and found a wonderful treasure trove - even including song samples.
Putting this part here in Taylor News but am also adding a thread to Other Artists with a direct link to JV's entire body of work which is Impressive.

Seems he was a fan from the beginning

I don't always follow "American Idol", but I was watching on October 10, 2005 when Taylor Hicks performed his audition in Las Vegas. He sang a Sam Cooke song, "A Change Is Gonna Come".
I thought he nailed it!

And is still solidly in Taylor's corner

It was apparent that Taylor had developed an affinity for the song in the ten months since he'd recorded it. On "The View", his vocal performance digs even deeper than it did on the recorded studio version, and Loren provides solid support on the piano.
For anyone who ever doubted the legitimacy of his American Idol success, this performance proves, beyond a doubt, that Taylor Hicks is the "real deal".
