Glad y'all enjoyed it...it was definitely a huge radio staple back in the day...it became an immediate hit the first time it was played. The marimba solo was actually an ad lib during a rehearsal that sounded so good they decided to keep it...so glad they did! Thanks for the great reaction! ❤

I watched a documentary from the singer a few days back. This song is about a gal he was pursuing in highschool and she turned him down several times. She finally said yes to a date and they're still married to this day ❤️❤️😁

Bruce told the story of how this song came to be: it involved a women he met at college who turned him down for a date twice before accepting the third time. Bo Wagner rocked on the Marimba (not xylophone) and drove the women crazy with his tap-dancing routine... When Bo was ten years old he was a TV guest on the Original Mickey Mouse Club as a featured drummer and tap dancer...He also, in the early 1970's, worked as a studio musician in Los Angeles, appeared on The Lawrence Welk Show for three years and toured with The 5th Dimension, Roger Williams and Liberace. I worked for Starbuck's Lighting dude, Larry, and saw them live several times before going to Navy Boot Camp... Some memorable gigs were at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton and the Toys For Tots concert at the Omni in Atlanta... All of the guys were great people...

For what it's worth that video of them at Chastain Park here on youtube was something. I always wondered what the band looked like, original and the newcomers before the advent of what used to be music television. I'm over 50 now and this one of those songs you here as a child and take for granted, then spend 30 years looking to find again. Still looking for a better song to listen to between 4-7 pm. I have not found it yet.

Hey kids that you can see by my instrument I'm playing on my picture, I play the mallets also, and I know you mean well but the instrument that the person is playing the lead on is not a xylophone it is a marimba which is part of the family of the Mallet boards but not a xylophone.

"The xylophone is not that hard (to play)". Sure, if you're playing something like 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' in middle school. Otherwise, it can be as difficult as you want it to be. For example, you will probably need to seriously dedicate yourself to practicing for about ten years before you can do a proper job of playing the marimba solo in this song!🙃 Glad to see you guys liked the song, though. It's really one of those classic "too sweet" songs that's actually got some quality stuff going on in it! And the writer's experience which the song is about is an amazing story!!!

Sorry guys, but it's a marimba, not a xylophone. A xylophone has metal "keys" whereas a marimba is wooden. I listen to this whole song JUST for the marimba solo. 🔥

The xylophone and marimba BOTH have wooden keys (though there are cheaper versions of the xylophones with synthetic keys). The marimba has a very soft and mellow sound, while the xylophone has a harsh sound. A similar mallet-keyboard instrument that has metal keys is the vibraphone, and that's the instrument which you can hear playing sustained-note chords in the the background throughout this song except during the marimba solo.
