The only song from him I like. R.I.P. though. :(

This was Dan Fogelberg's final Top 40 CHR hit.

[Hervard]

Yeah, but he did have several AC goodies after that, including the follow-up to this song, a beautiful ballad called "Believe In Me". Also, "Lonely In Love" and "Seeing You Again", both from his 1987 album "Exiles". There was also his cover version of "Rhythm Of The Rain" in 1990 (and we did have a lot of rain around the time it charted, in October of that year!)

He was a good singer. Too bad he recently passed away.

Always have liked this one a lot... even before his recent passing, I was still playing it on my PC pretty frequently...

"She says no when she means yes" I remember putting this lyric on my locker door "quote of the day" back in the day.

He had 17 songs on the AC chart and is one of the 75 artist in the history of that format chart according to Billboard.
