Mar 18, 2011 - Just spent a couple hours going through all my cassettes from the 70s and 80s, found this song on one of them and can't believe it's here on You Tube! I just love hidden gems such as this. Radio ruled in the late 70s/early 80s, and the music did, too. Love it!

Jun 26, 2011 - One of the best produced songs of the 80's and one of the most underrated. If these guys would have gotten out of the studio long enough to promote it on shows like Solid Gold and American Bandstand, it would have been a much bigger hit. 

DaveWollenberg Says:

Jul 7, 2011 - Balance hit #22 in Billboard, 9-26-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

Oct 2, 2011 - I agree with everyone, flashback song, an under-rated song...a memory of 1981 and a certain person....she turned me on to this, the kings "the beAt goes on/switchin' to glide", tarney spencer "no time to lose"...and a group named kyakk, KUDOS! aALL PLAYING ON 102.3...WBAB LONG ISLAND. BOB BUCKMAN....LONG LIVE!!!!!!!! & GOODTIMES OF COMMACK.
