..."We're Almost There", which I used to hate as a kid, but loved when I got grown 'cause I finally understood it. That was the point when listening to it started to make me cry 'cause it's just so sweet and hopeful and pleading that it kills me every time. I won't even put myself through that now or "Music and Me". I'd be asking for trouble.

But, I just heard "Maria" and "We've Got a Good Thing Going" for the first time ever and felt like I was listening to a person whose musical oeuvre I thought I knew, but really didn't. And while that's exciting, it's incredibly sad that it took this man dying for me to really dig into who he was musically beyond the string of hits we all know about.
