I'm (slowly) learning the keyboard, and Lionel Richie - Easy was the first song I managed to play the whole way through, then it was Bill Withers - Lean On Me. Both are not very hard and I'd guess anyone who had never touched a musical instrument could learn both over a weekend (and a keyboard/piano).
But, this song was the first with both hands - still not mastered it completely, but can do a reasonably good version of it.
Not even one of his better songs, but love a bit of a Phil ; and so does Pet and and ol' Ghostie, so I ken I am on the winning side when the results come in

Practice makes perfect

Didn’t Albert croon about putting his finger in the woodpecker hole? He nearly got barred from ver Nags Head by Mike who didn’t approve of the geriatric fanny magnet pulling the birds with his risqué songs.

Wouldn't class myself as a fan as such but...
I like his voice.
I liked him in Buster.
His autobiography is a bloody good read too.

Didn’t like his disco shite like Can’t Hurry Love or Another Day in Paradise but lord his slower stuff like A Groovy Kind of Love and Aganist All Odds. Liked the sinister Mama too.

He’s one of those under-the-radar white mainstream acts (like Elton John) who were quite popular among black audiences back in the old days, while being very unfashionable in the rock media.
