On the heels of the success of the 1977 film The Goodbye Girl and the popularity of the theme song, former vocalist released this 1978 album. Featuring his hit song, included material culled from his previous solo albums, 1973's and 1975's . However, rather than simply an odds-and-sods collection, the album also included several newly recorded songs with "Took the Last Train," "Overnight Sensation," "California Lady," "Drifter," and "He Don't Know How to Love You." While the album certainly fit into ' melodic, laid-back soft rock oeuvre, the new songs found him branching out musically. Perhaps inspired by 's 1974 disco hit "Lady Marmalade," ' similarly French-infused, St. Tropez-set "Took the Last Train" was a cutting-edge (for the time) synthesizer and drum machine-driven number featuring the chorus refrain "Viens chez moi/Ce soir va jamais terminer/On va rester toujours ensemble" -- which, loosely translated, means "Come to me/Tonight will never end/We will always be together." The song is a forgotten yacht rock-era anthem that deserves a place next to such classics of the genre as ' "The Pina Colada Song" and ' "Key Largo." Although was largely responsible for the more mellow end of 's output with "California Lady," "Drifter," and "He Don't Know How to Love You," he dug into his Oklahoma roots and displayed his knack for -style country-rock. Ultimately, is a great example of mainstream '70s AOR and still works as a nice single-disc snapshot of ' post- work up to that point. ~ Matt Collar
