From 1979's Wave. One of my favorites by her.
This is one of her few songs to hit the Hot 100, peaking at #90, but her legacy goes far beyond chart entries.

"Frederick" is a rock song written by Patti Smith, and released as lead single from Patti Smith Group 1979 album Wave. The song is dedicated to Fred "Sonic" Smith, guitar player of the Detroit band MC5 and Smith's future husband.
The Piano intro of Frederick is a homage to the then regularly performed live intro by Bruce Springsteen in concert for his song Prove It All Night.
