You were this close to forgetting this song, weren't you?
And yet this song was a MONSTROUS Top 5 hit worldwide.
But it almost didn't happen.
The song was originally titled "Interlude" - and I've heard the demo. It's nearly identical to this.
When it was finally relased in 2001, on the Legally Blonde soundtrack, it was titled "A Thousand Miles (Interlude)". This was not Carlton's choice - it was her record label. Such is the life of a musician.
It may have been her only hit, but it's memorable and STILL used in many commercials to this day.
And the song - about a crush on someone who is apparently now a famous actor - is esquisite.
By the way, not only does she still perform and has not turned her back on this song, she OPENS her set with it - because she does not like to make people wait.
We applaud this.
