Bill Wray - Pinball, That's All (from the Brooke Shields film, "Tilt")

Before Atari, Pac-Man Fever, Do The Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, PS3, Wii, XBox 360.....there was pinball! And in 1979, a critically panned film (now considered a cult favorite) about pinball was released starring Brooke Shields, and the soundtrack featuring tunes Bill Wray was released. The pinball craze that year was still riding high, so you would think Bill Wray's lead in single, "Pinball, That's All", would capitalize on the pinball craze and be a big hit, even for the sake of novelty. Sadly, this wasn't the case, and "Pinball, That's All" stalled at the bottom of Billboard's Hot 100 chart at #96. Did this deserve a better chart fate? Pinball machines were pretty popular during that time, so why shouldn't this song deserve one?
