Pop Bits: This single from Springfield's LP "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet" became the album's third Top 40 entry following "Don't Talk to Strangers" (#2) and "What Kind of Fool Am I" (#21). Although it was the lowest peaking of the bunch, it caught the attention of Grammy voters who handed Springfield a nomination for Best Rock Vocal, Male.
ReduxReview: This one has shades of "Jessie's Girl" right off the bat, but it settles into its own song soon enough. Actually, I thought this should have been the LP's second single. I think it would have done much better than it did as the third single. Regardless, Springfield was tossing out some solid pop/rock tunes at the time that still sound pretty darn good.
ReduxRating: 6/10
Trivia: Springfield's "Success" album featured the song "Black Is Black." This was originally a hit for the band Los Bravos in 1966. The single reached #4 on the pop chart and in doing so, Los Bravos became the first Spanish rock band to have a major international chart hit.
