Rupert Holmes is on the No. 1 album in the country

Posted by:	mikem 11:51 am EDT 08/14/14

Rupert Holmes's "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" is one of the tracks on the current No. 1 album in the country, the soundtrack to "Guardians of the Galaxy." "Escape" was a No. 1 pop hit when first released in 1979, but I think this is the first time Holmes has been on a No. 1 album as a performer. He wrote two songs that appeared on the "A Star is Born" soundtrack as sung by Barbra Streisand. Incidentally, Streisand apparently recorded a version of "Moonfall" from Drood that was never released. I would love to hear it someday!
