You got confusion all over the land

Co-written by Howard University roommates Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson, this one’s 50 years old but still packs a punch today.

    "People stopping, staring
    I can't see their faces
    Only the shadows of their eyes..."

      As it happens, I picked up a Nilsson compilation CD earlier this year. Always found it interesting, given how well-known he was as a songwriter, that his two big hits (this one and "Without You") were written by other people.
