Today's Can-Con 45 is from 1978 ... Nicolette Larson and her hit version of Jesse Winchester's "Rhumba Girl" ...

When he was touring to promote his Talk Memphis LP, circa 1981, "Rhumba Man" was one of the best received songs that he sang, even though it was not on that album.
Funny thing is that I actually never heard the Nicolette Larson version until I started listening to Oldies stations in the late 1990s.
Then as now, I like both "versions" of the song.
