Weeks: 12
Genre: Rock
Pop Bits: This follow-up to Squier's hit "The Stroke" (#17) didn't do quite as well but did manage to get into the Top 40. At rock radio, it was another hit reaching #7. The success of the singles pushed his album, "Don't Say No" into the Top 10 and it eventually achieved triple-platinum status.
ReduxReview: While not as good or immediate as "The Stroke," this is still a hot slice o' rock pie from Squier. It was a great one-two punch from him and although neither really lit up the pop chart, they certainly made him a star and became rock radio staples.
ReduxRating: 7/10
Trivia: Before hitting the solo trail, Squier was a member of a few bands. The last one he was in, Piper, he formed and they issued two albums in 1976 and 1977. Despite good press and an opening slot on a Kiss tour, the albums tanked and the group disbanded. Squier finally secured a solo deal in 1980.
