You Bring The World To Me

Review: "I'm not easy" to please, but when I first heard Paula, I could understand why. I received "Sweet Country Love" and just play it over and over. Now Paula has a new album "Riding In A Pumpkin" and afer hearing three tracks off the album "You Bring The World To Me" followed
"Works For Me" and "Wrong Kind OfCrowd" I know this Cinderella is truly heading for the Ball.
