James Ingram - Just Once (Q. Jones, B. Mann, C. Weil) ~ Erwin Lazaro 192

Sometimes a painful tune hits the spot.  Sorrow and devastation is not required.  Filipinos are typically included among passionate personalities, for better or for worse.  And, for all Filipino men who love karaoke and know “Just Once” as made popular by James Ingram’s vocals on Quincy Jones’ album, I believe “Just Once” is an anthem that beckons, for better or for worse.  Sure, a few beers may be involved, but hey, let us sing.  Sing it loud.  Sing it proud!
