Song#: 0572
Date: 04/18/1981
Debut: 82
Peak: 15
Weeks: 23
Genre: Soft Rock, Prog Rock
Pop Bits: The Project just had their best chart showing with "Games People Play" (#16) and this second single from their "The Turn of a Friendly Card" album would eclipse that peak by a notch giving them their best single showing yet.
ReduxReview: I never would have thought this languid ballad would actually be a hit, but there it was hitting #15! For me, the slowness of the tune, the melody, and especially that voice completely suckered me in. I loved it and got the single pronto. I also remember this song at state band camp at Interlochen one summer. There was a mixer on one of the evenings and there was dancing. I was painfully too shy to really dance, but when this came on a flute player I was talking with grabbed me to go slow dance. I'm sure that slow dancing with me was probably the equivalent of dancing with a sheet of plywood.
ReduxRating: 8/10
Trivia: As co-founder of the Project, this would be Eric Woolfson's first
charting single as lead vocalist and it introduced his oddly
recognizable voice to a larger audience.
