Debut: 90
Peak: 52
Weeks: 8
Genre: Soft Rock
Pop Bits: Snow's rock-oriented album "Rock Away" already produced the minor single "Games" (#46) and this second single did about as well. It would be another eight years before Snow would return to recording and although she would get a couple of songs on the AC chart, this would be her final pop chart entry.
ReduxReview: This is certainly more amped up when compared to the original (see below) and Snow sounds great on it. Rock doesn't fit her very well, however with the R&B twinge to this, it is a bit better. Not sure if it makes the best single, but it seemed to do okay.
ReduxRating: 6/10
Trivia: This song was originally just called "Mercy Mercy" and was co-written and recorded by R&B artist Don Covay in 1964. The song only reached #35 on the pop chart (#1 R&B), but is now more famous for the guitarist who performed on the track - Jimi Hendrix.
