In college, I took a group piano class because I have dreams of being able to sit down and play beautiful pieces of music--hasn't happened yet. I've got to buy a piano and then maybe I'll get there. My performance piece for the year was a vastly simplified version of this song. I got an A. I feel a little bad, because someone else did it as well, but they didn't notice the 8va notation and so played it an octave too low. It made me feel like a showoff when it was my turn. Anyway, the piece is a product of disco, bubblegum pop, and the Canadian musician Frank Mills. Recorded in 1974, it made it big in 1979 hitting #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
