About this song
Members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section wrote the song and sent a demo to Bob Seger while he was finishing his tenth album, Stranger In Town. Seger sang over the demo after rewriting the verses, and Alto Reed played the sax solo. The song was released as the album's fourth single in spring 1979 and became its fourth straight US top 30 hit. It was also featured in the 1983 film Risky Business, which helped it chart again.
