I got to meet the band when this song and Imaginary Lover were in the charts. My small High School of 200+ won a live concert at our school. When I reminisce of my school days, this is cherished most. They Rocked our small Arkansas School out! Afterwards we got to hang out with the band.. They (especially Ronnie) were so cool, but especially humble. Talking to Ronnie he made me feel like I was important to him when in actuality we must have looked like just small town hick kids. But they gave us a Class "A" concert. A memory I'll always cherish..RIP Ronnie and the rest in the band who have passed. Such a great band!

I lived in Atlanta in high school back in the late 70's and early 80's. One of my close friends' mom dated Ronnie Hammond and I met him at Champagne Jam '78 and a couple of other times at my friends' house. Ronnie was a funny, humble, gentle soul with the consummate pop/rock voice. Without Ronnie on those early albums there would never have been an ARS. Period. Rest In Peace Ronnie.

My dad bout me a belt buckle for my 10 birthday that had ARS on it, I never new who they were. I played classic rock guitar for years before I heard the solo in this song. But since I learned to appreciate guitar players for there own sound and playing techniques this version only helps remind me how good Baily's version was. And as for this guy he must appreciate and respect Baily enough to have done this tune with a Strat rather then a Les Paul. You can try to play like a Randy or a Jimi but really guitar players know how much of a mistake it would be to stand in for someone and play like them note for note.

I worked for a sound company that serviced ARS from about 1986 to 1995. We got the account after a riot happened in Erie, PA and the sound console was burned. Their sound company called them an "irresponsible client" because the band wouldn't buy them a replacement mixing console and the band called the sound company irresponsible for not having their equipment insured. Most people do not know Jim Markham, the bands monitor mixer was the third part of their harmony. Last time I ran across these guys, one of RA Roth's lighting techs was playing drums, Danny Bigay. Paul Goddard and Wizzard Bass wrote the bass players bible for Atlanta. Andy West was in the mix, too.

One must not forget the Candymen, whose live performances of the Beatles' Sgt Peppers album (without the sampling and technically advanced instruments only available many years later) sounded so close to the original, that Sir Paul McCartney commented how amazing they were after seeing them live at a UK venue. They also backed Roy Orbison for awhile. Check out their music, as well as the groups The Classics IV, Beaverteeth and the Studuo One (Doraville, Ga) house band, for more insight into some of the incredible musicians who later formed the Atlanta Rhythm Section. This current lineup maintains the high bar of musicianship they have always been known for.
