it was released around the time of Rundgren's "I Saw the Light" and so didn't have a chance. It's a good song, well-constructed by Carmen as usual, with those classical piano touches and Beatle-y vocals. Eric Carmen was very talented.
This was obviously heavily influenced by a song on Badfinger's first album called "Beautiful And Blue." Same tempo and descending bass line in their respective choruses.
Shame the Raspberries remain an unfairly neglected band for they had great melodies in their songs!

Okay, so I now hear what Thom Yorke has been trying to emulate.

A Emitt Rhodes rip off track. How orginal were the Raspberries, very Anglo-Rock guys

Yes, this melody is perfect. Like songs written by Brian Wilson. Amazing.

These guys were great Beatles imitators,
but somehow they were original and clever
enough to pull it off.

Astonishing that this was not a hit, or even a single. Has one of the most gorgeous melodies you could ever hope to hear.
