This was supposed to be the 3rd single from "Spitfire" but RCA nixed that idea before it came to pass. "St. Charles" didn't do so hot (what a shame for a good song from the album) & RCA didn't think "Cruisin'" was gonna do any better.
Yes for music it was the best but remember we also had the Viet Nam War, Civil Rights, Race Riots,The JFK Assasination, Political Corruption. Campus Shootoings. The good and the bad . Love- Ins, Smoke- Ins, Drugs, Sex and Revolution.
The 70's when driving around or crusin was a way of life. Who knew it was the end of an era. Heard it on "The Drive" in Chicago on Lake Shore Drive for the first time since the song was always on the radio. Gas was still cheap and there was still light in the world.
@1971SuperLead you had a 57 chevy that was still running in 1976. come on, check that. let's just say this song is Marty Balin out front doing it good.
