"Ain't That A Mother's Luck" is one that came from the same album as "Misty Blue." It was the B-side to her follow-up single written by Willie Nelson, "Funny How Time Slips Away." It only went to #58, but Moore would see the top 40 once more in 1977 with her version of a song written by The Addrisi Brothers, "I Believe You" (#27).

"Ain't That A Mother's Luck" by Dorothy Moore
Mississippi singer Dorothy Moore got her start in a 60s group known as The Poppies before going solo in the 70s. Best known for her ballads, especially the smash hit "Misty Blue" (which went to #3 in 1976), Moore also sounded great on funky disco tunes.

"The Last Sound Love Makes" by Don Johnson
Being the star of hit TV shows (Miami Vice and Nash Bridges) and movies just isn't enough for some people. Don Johnson also wanted to sing his heart out.
Don Johnson's debut album arrived in 1986, whose title track, "Heartbeat," soared all the way to #5. But when the follow-up single, "Heartache Away," stalled at #56, he seemed destined to be a one-hit wonder. However, his 1988 duet with Barbara Streisand, "Till I Loved You," (the love theme from the Broadway musical Goya) reached a respectable #25.
The album "Heartbeat" featured an all-star cast, including songs written by Tom Petty and Bob Seger, and backing vocals by Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson. "The Last Sound Love Makes" is a missed opportunity that I think stood a decent chance at some chart action.
Johnson's fame and support staff helped propel his album to an impressive #17 on the Top 200. Unfortunately, lightning did not strike twice and his 1989 sophomore record, "Let It Roll" didn't even chart.
