    You are correct!

    It was a pretty good song. I never listened closely enough at the time to think about the meaning. Also, it was eventually overplayed.

    I never heard the song, before. Or heard of the artist.

    Correct.

    I know the movie Xanadu wasn't super successful, but I liked it.

    Hudson Brothers is correct for the artist name. But incorrect song title. Guess again.

    The Hudson Brothers had a variety or comedy show on in the 70s. It was similar to Sonny & Cher and The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour.

    I had to do some research for this one, but it does sound familiar. I was pretty young then.

    The Hudson Brothers -- Rendezvous

    Correct. Catchy tune. They also had a Saturday morning kids program, 'The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show,' Oh, the '70s!

    Bill Hudson used to be married to Goldie Hawn, and is Kate Hudson's father

    I heard this song today on an AT40 from 9/8/73.

    King of the remakes also performed with his family / immature affection = [singer/song]

    Casey said this song was sung by a couple men before, Tab Hunter and Sonny James, in 1957. The songs were #1 and #2 at the same time. Very odd.

    I'm thinking Donny Osmond/Puppy Love? (also written by and originally recorded by Paul Anka...but that was after 1957) Don't know about Tab Hunter and Sonny James. And I never thought of Donny Osmond as "king of remakes'', so my guess is probably wrong

    Donny Osmond -- BLANK Love is correct, but not Puppy.

    Yeah, he's had at least 10 hits that were remakes. Pretty much every solo hit he had was a remake.

    Correct. A bit of trivia: it was written by John Stewart, who also had a hit in 1979, with his song “Gold”, featuring backing vocals by Stevie Nicks. Deckerp, I’m sure you know the song.

    I sure do know the song. He only had a few songs in the top 40.
