The Japaneese release of The Essential EC will include "Winter Dreams" (1998) version of "Almost Paradise".
Duet partner is Janey Clewer. She is AOR singer, composer and Bruce Gaitsch's wife.
Bruce Gaitsch is great session guiterist, composer, producer, he played on "Winter Dreams" album.
I got a message from Janey Clewer.
"That is also wonderful about Eric Carmen's new CD. We will have to get one! He is such a wonderful talent. We are still trying to work out a performance with him at the Cotton Club, but I think he has been very busy with his new release. Hopefully, in the future."
Love Theme from "Footloose" is the title of a duet by singers Mike Reno and Ann Wilson, written by pop music singer-songwriter Eric Carmen and co-written by Dean Pitchford.
Lyrics
I thought that dreams belonged to other men 'Cause each time I got close They'd fall apart again I feared my heart would beat in secrecy I faced the nights alone Oh, how could I have known That all my life I only needed you Ooh, almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise It seems like perfect love's so hard to find I'd almost given up You must have read my mind And all these dreams I've saved for a rainy day They're finally comin' true I'll share them all with you 'Cause now we hold the future in our hands Ooh, almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise And in your arms salvation's not so far away It's getting closer Closer every day Almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise Paradise Paradis
