I heard a rebroadcast of American Top 40 from May 19, 1979 and Casey Kasem told the story about this guy. He came across as cocky saying that he appeals to women and he was saying he was going to be bigger than Sinatra, Johnny Mathis and yes even The Beatles. Obviously that never happened.
@Fab4geek2010 He was always cocky. I remember that well, but being a teenager, I couldn't take my eyes off him. Great song, but his voice usually leaves a lot to be desired.

this guy was exactly 10 years to the day older than me. ;) i remember seeing him on Bandstand when this song came out. apparently he was vegetarian because i recall him making the comment that 'not eating meat makes me pretty.'
I loved this song .... and the original video with the red jumper ... I made my mum knit me a "V" neck jumper cos I was obsessed with this bloke when I was a teen !
Don't you just love how the videos were simple back then? Just a singer, alone on the stage lip-synching, and a wind machine...You don't need anything else if you got a great song. And this is a great song...
This video is hammy but the song is good. Brings back memories was in High School when this song came out.

He was gorgeous in a Andy
Gibb kind of way. This song has Michael Omartian (Christopher Cross) all over it. Because he produced it.

Too bad the poor bloke died; I hope he didn't "self-destruct" on drugs and all the rest of it. He had a pretty good voice.

@Aspie08
Due to the success of this song in Australia , Roger hosted an episode of "Countdown" (an Oz music show) & performed this song in 1979.
He had a different shirt on but still had the wind machine blowing his hair as in the video.
