Not sure why they were considered 1 hit wonders. I remember this song getting heavy airplayalong with Let Your Yea Be Yea and of course Smokin.Haven't really heard this one since way back when it came out and thanks for posting.
Birdman, how fortunate you were to be a part of this iconic Rock'in Band, i experienced these Legends some 30+ yrs. ago and can still see it as if it were lastnight,what an ass kick'in entertaining band ! So sorry we lost the great frontman Cubby way to soon,i myself was the drummer for the late Great Glen Buxton, Hall of Fame Inductee and co-founder of The Alice Cooper Band, these rock legends are larger than life to most people, but for those of us who knew them personally they were 1 of us.
This was a great tune, and one of my favorites. I haven't heard it in years, thanks for posting this. They were a real hardworking group that set the chining bar for other entertainers.
Its the Summer of 77 all over again! Thanx for posting. I remember listening to this song on July 7, 1977 (7/7/77)
That summer was the 1st time I dared to try a high dive. As I fell to the water I swear I heard the drum solo @ 2:45 in my ears as I descended. (I know it was the wind, but it sure sounded like those drums)
Saw these guys with Aero Smith in 1974, Escohaeg RI, pretty good show by all the Bands, what I can remember of it anyway, LOL. Wish I had a Time Machine
these guys had some kick-ass shyt in the day......a great party band that never ever got close to the song play they deserved.....Most of their songs were hits in my day. Just had to know where to go to jam to their stuff!!!
Now that I didn't know. I know they all had some roots in Michigan, so that could have a lot to do with it. The whole Michigan scene around that time was pretty tight-knit.
One of my favorite songs of all time - brings be back square to the middle 70's. It is only very rarely heard anywhere and I have not been able to find it on-line. Thanks, and I liked the No.lights.
grantzx,,, Obviuos you aint from northern territory. I'm Alaskan. These are the Northern Lights we get to see. If ya aint never seen them for yourself...Well they are the most awesome thing God ever made.
why cant you buy this on itunes or any other music sharing website?

Hi I am Chris Driggins,the brother of the Bassist "Tony "Tone' Driggins.
I always think of him practicing with Mile Lutz, Cubby Coda and others in our basement in Michigan.
I am also known as Chris Birdman Driggins in Vancouver, Washington

Bruce Nazarian, who joined the group late during their time, sang lead on this one. The best ever vocal harmonies by this group.

Nazarian was a great guitarist too.
Coda and he must've been one great guitar combination live.
