This song features saxophone by Raphael Ravenscroft. Great song that gets played often on AT10.

Good song, but suffers from excessive airplay.

Good song, but I liked his followup "Right Down The Line" better (I made a topic last year that nobody responded to  ). |

Good song, but suffers from excessive airplay. You think that's true today! Were you around when it was a hit? It's gotta be one of the most overplayed songs in the history of radio. It was a massive hit on every format from AOR to Easy Listening. Yeah, it was a good song. But the excessive airplay ruined it. |

I was only four then, so I was spared from the excessive overplay. |

I hated that song as a kid growing up during the pre-school and kindergarten years. I found that song to be annoying. Now I like it, but not as much as "Right Down The Line".

There was a decent dance remake by Undercover.

Another all-time top 1000 song. Will never burn out on it.

This song is dominated by that saxophone, it's ICONIC. The song itself is kind of secondary to the sax. This has been used in so many TV Shows, movies and videogames, it's ridiculous.
