 Don't Leave Me This Way earned Thelma Houston a Grammy Award for the year's best female R&B vocal performance. Another veteran entertainer to top the hit parade in 1977 was a man from Delight, Arkansas, or I think he called it Delight, Arkansas, who spent time as a member of the Beach Boys. Glenn Campbell talked to me about his biggest hit of that year. I love doing Southern Nights. I love the message it says.
