Just Can't Help Believing
John Paul James
Today's slightly personal #AT40 factoid. We had BJ Thomas sit in with @paulshaffer and the band around 2012. He played his hits into commercial breaks. Paul and I got him to cut "I Just Can't Help Believing" so he could do our favorite, "The Eyes of a New York Woman."
