But, it actually IS a standard. I believe it was a top 10 chart hit in many countries around the world, so it was a huge public favourite, and i think it is a song that is much loved to this day.
Point taken, and never arued to begin with. I was using the term "standard" in the sense that lots of other performers recorded or played it live -- you know, like "Yesterday" or "Louie Louie." Of course I haven't paid much atention to current music in the last 15 years; if I walk into a club, am I likely to encounter a band playing "500 Miles"?
