Billy was at his peak with his seventh album. Had a #1 with the previous 52nd Street, and this would do the same.
His first #1 single and my favorite of It's Still Rock And Roll To Me led the way, getting him a grammy. The album
has more of a rock feel than his previous efforts for me, and because of that, is not one of his best. It's a good
album, but I prefer the softer side, which there is not much of here. Only other track I love is Don't Ask Me Why
and there are two I don't care for at all. Three other singles came off the album, Don't Ask Me Why, Sometimes A
Fantasy, and You May Be Right. That last one was a #7 hit. I may be crazy but it never clicked with me. Billy would
come back with better albums for me.
