    Love this song popular when I was 11. American proud to have been raised on Canadian border. I love Canada and this beautiful friendly country produces greatest rock on planet. Chilliwack, Trooper, Harlequin, Red Rider, Jerry Doucette, Rush, Toronto, Prism, Sweetheart, Head Pins, Burton Cummings, Straight lines, Triumph. Greatful to my parents for raising me in Northeastern Montana. Can't imagine not knowing Canadian rock just unfathomable

      Or Helix.
      Helix was a wicked concert, fuck, I sold a lot of dope at that concert. I mean, they had good lyrics, like give me an R,O,C,K, and then the crowd yells "rock" really loud, now that's a fuckin' concert.

      Charlotte - from a humble Canadian and proud of it, you forgot 1 little known band - Pat Travers - Rock N' Roll Susie.
      Also need to include some great American bands - Boston- Hitchin a ride - Aerosmith, everything, and many many more
      - between the 2 great nations, the best rock and roll in the world.

    Jerry really had a great song right here. Great guitar works, some of the best for 1977. This song has so much positive energy , lifts one up certainly. Great stuff Jerry. Circa 1977 -80 while living in Vancouver Jerry would show up at Saturday jams sessions at the "American" . man, those were the days. Best times of my life. mos60

    He will be missed. One of my favorite songs. His guitar playing is like none other.
    Just like Gary Moore guitarer from Thin Lizzy to BRANCH OUT and did solo I albums like "Still got the blues for you," .
    Who passed as well. R. I p. Gary
    I last and only time I seen Jerry Doucette was at the Variety Club Telethon.
    Every year they had good hands and we could stay out all night long. Not was awesome that year because it was LOVERBOY, HEADPINS AND JERRY DOUCETTE...WOW.! FREE!! LOL.
    He passed last week at the age of 70yrs old. My apologizes for the late tribute to this wonderful artist. My most heart felt condolences to Jerry's family and long live his music until then R.I.P. Until we meet again

Chilliwack? It must've been when this album finally got reissued on CD when I finally knew who this was. Heard this song lots on the radio growing up. But youb think they'd tell ya who is it.
