David knew that he would catch flack for his current single "Wonderful Tonight", a remake of the Eric Clapton hit, but fought hard to have it released. The record label didn't stand a chance between the reaction to the song from David's live audience and the radio-play it was receiving. He talked to CLOSE UP, the official membership publication of the Country Music Association about his feeling on the subject.

"I believe there are good remakes and there are bad remakes. I firmly believe this is a good remake. We did two on the album, and both have the potential to be good singles because they are both great songs. They have proved themselves before. One of them is very Country because Willie Nelson wrote it, 'Hello Walls' and the other is Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight', a song that lends itself to the Country format.

I may be totally wrong, but you have to take a risk to have great things happen. One of the things I look at is Tim McGraw with 'Indian Outlaw'. That was a very unconventional song. In my opinion, even more so than 'Wonderful Tonight.' Usually it's those 'love it or hate it' songs that become huge songs.
