The single peaked at #2 for 3 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976, and went gold. It was also featured in the Wayne's World film and soundtrack. Later that year, his follow-up single "Love Is Alive" also reached #2 (for 2 weeks). Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the Gary Wright song "Power Of Love" from the Dream Weaver album.
