Yeah, but it's a 100 times better in the demo from the mid 70s. There, her high, twangy soprano suits the song perfectly. By the time she gets to it on Mirage, she sounds tired, and the band kind of strums along listlessly.
Why the band never sought to record Planets (beyond the early Rumours outtake) is beyond me. It would have made the perfect addition to Tango. Still, the Shangri-la version is amazing.
Gosh: I just realized I've replied to something posted in 2009. I need a life.
