(Not a cut-out.) Tracks: Lost In The Feeling The Best Is Yet To Come You've Got A Good Love Coming We're So Close Heartache Tonight Stranger's Point Of View I Think I'm In Love Three Times A Lady First Things First Don't It Feel Good About The Record: The model mooning over Twitty on the cover is none other than Naomi Judd in her pre-Judds days. The Jimmy Bowen-produced set contains the standard ten cuts indicative of Nashville releases at the time, but it's a little more than a standard Twitty record. There were three hit singles on the set, including a cover of the Eagles' Heartache Tonight, with the singer backed by the Osmond Brothers. It reached No. 6 in the country singles chart. A bigger surprise is the beautiful reading of Lionel Richie's Three Times a Lady, which reached the No. 7 spot. These two cuts offer a solid view of Twitty's amazing crossover potential, and his ability to take well-known pop tracks and turn them into solid country smashes long after the countrypolitan days of Chet Atkins and RCA. The biggest hit from the set is the album opener, Lost in the Feeling, penned by Lewis Anderson, which made it all the way to No. 2 -- and which features a backing vocal by a young-ish Ricky Skaggs. Uncharacteristically, Twitty didn't write a thing on Lost in the Feeling, but most every track sounds as if it were written for him.
