Another somewhat obscure rock song from 1978. I had this on 45 I think, and later I bought the LP which I still have somewhere. This was an English band that had a few other minor hits in England, but I think this was their biggest U.S. hit. When I was younger I just thought of this as a good hard rock band, but looking back now the influence from E.L.O. is very apparent. Also, their producer was Mutt Lange, who went on to produce those early and very successful Def Leppard albumns, and you can hear some of that early Def Leppard sound here too.
