I know that sounds like the most absurd hypothesis ever, but humor me for a second...
Several years back, I was on a caffeine-fueled roadtrip in the middle of the night and heard "The One You Love" on a schmaltzy soft-rock FM station. I remembered the song from my childhood, but couldn't remember the name of the song or the artist. The melody rang tinny in the back of my conscious for nearly two years before I realized it was by former Eagles songsmith, Glenn Frey (say it with me now: The "H" is "O").
The only reason I held onto this smoother-than-smooth, yacht-rockin' heartbreaker for so long was because it reminded me eerily of Dayne's dancefloor megahit from the early '90s.
Even if you don't buy into my crackpot theory, give the videos a watch, because they are both pretty spectacular relics of their respective times.
Glenn Frey - "The One You Love"
Taylor Dayne - "Tell It To My Heart"
