My 4 year daughter loves this tune. It was great finding this 45 in a used bookstore. My first time hearing this song was in late 1996 when I bought the Have Nice Day, the 70s Rhino compilation.  It is great knowing that she likes this song and sings it and does not listen to about 95% of the garbage music today.

@TheTalkeetna1 That 'Have A Nice Day' compilation is a great collection. I bought some of the volumes in the 90's but didn't get them all. As for your daughter, let's hope she still appreciates 'our' good music when she's 14 :)

Great quality here! Thanx! the only other 1 I have seen is on Music Mike's, but something went awry during that upload, I guess. This rocks! I think several of these guys went on recently to Atomic Age Project - their music sounds like the same DNA created/played it! -- Hank in Wisc

@Hankster957 Thanks for the nice comment...I just saw the comment below from 777Trumpetman, you may want to read it. I didn't see it before, because someone had marked it as spam. Anyway, it sheds some light on what the guys are doing now!

I was the trumpet player, pianist and background vocalist for Bullet from 1972-1974. Ernie Sorrentino was the lead singer, Mike Micara was the drummer, George Ruiz was the bass player, Joey Stann was the organist and sax player. Today, we are all still in music. Joey plays with South Side Johnny. Ernie and Mike still play today. George Ruiz has passed away. I am the founding director of Popular Music at Palm Beach Atlantic University. My name is Roget Pontbriand. I was 17 when i joined Bullet.

@777Trumpetman That is so cool, thanks for stopping by to comment! I didn't see this msg. because some idiot had marked it as spam. Good to know that you are still making music. This song was one of my favorites during the early 70's. More of your songs should have charted...here in Chicago, anyway :D

I was 14 when this song was released! Great memories!

So good to hear from you Roget Pontbriand ! You guys made my life a joy and a heartache in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania long ago. Thank you for both.

This is a great music video; fantastic images to complement the music.

I actually preferred our song "Willpower Weak Temptation Strong" which featured great horn lines and a great drum part played by Mike Micara! Excellent vocals from Ernie Sorentino!

Love those blue eyes and I can see the evil hidden behind them. I loved this song. It got little air play in the Pittsburgh area. I don't forget good songs. Thanks for posting.
