I believe that the 1983 Naked Eyes cover was the one that hit the highest on the charts.

Thanks Larry.......WOW! Quite a few.
You are correct. Burt B. did write it. I have his big 3-CD set anthology, and I forgot
that all songs were written by Burt and/or Hal David.

I was having a couple of cocktails and mistakenly thought, for a brief moment, that Lou Johnson wrote it.

And the group/person whose version I am interested in, I think, is by Naked Eyes. I think this is the one with the wild walking
bassline.

Thanks again, Larry
