I was on a NATO base back in '79...heard this..tried calling into the radio station...ONE person at the station spoke english. They got to the phone and told me the name of the song and band. I felt then, that this song was one of those jams that would outlive & live on eight-track tape, cassette tape, CD, etc. It was so far ahead of its time and yet, so very simple. That 1950's hit 'Tossin and Turning' has that same combination of awesomeness and simplicity...it just touches. words fail...
Yah, this song is fuckin ultimate sweetness...always thought it was BOC, though. Similar voice and a little similar guitar work. But, like so many others say, from the first time I heard this, I was just hooked, addicted, wanting to hear it again.
I have listened to this magnificent fukken tune so many times while cruising everywhere that I honestly believe I could sing every word and play every instrument at the same time. Definitely one of the top five tunes ever penned. Yes, I said "top five" because it is a psychologically profound and musically powerful piece of craftsmanship. IMHO the best song of the 70s and I know that's saying a lot.
Hope your eyesight is a LOT better than this video - no wonder there are Sooooo many accidents!. And you're driving on the wrong side of the road!.

Amen to all of that
I fell for this track hard, the very first time I heard it, and it's been an ATF track ever since.
Too bad they could never come up with anything else that even comes close to the iconic perfection of this -- but at least we'll always have this one.
