I wonder what was #1 that held K&R at bay?
Dave said:"Touch Me When We're Dancing" was such a stunning renewal for the group!
A come-back which should'a kept on going, especially on the strength of that song!

Dave said:I agree--"Top Of The World" really was a bit of a relief from the usual more sadder stuff... My mom bought this very single (with the newer green & yellow Forget Me (K)Not striped label) and I don't think I remember what was on the other side, as it probably never got played even by me, as mom passed it over to...
I had no idea about a "single remix"...; is it that different from the album version?
Yes, the album version was what was released as a single in Australia (where I am - and where I got hooked on it) and Japan and charted well, which was a factor in it becoming a single in the US. Richard had never figured it for a hit, and felt that as a single it could be better. Karen rerecorded the lead, and Tony Peluso (who didn't feature on the original mix, I believe) played a lot more guitar. After years of trying to get the single mix, I was finally able to get it when it was released on a compilation album here in Australia in 1982. The single mix is pretty much what you hear on every compilation now.
I think they were only a song or two away from that.
This may be too far off-topic but I wonder...if K&R rather than the O.K Coralle(sp) did their impeccable backing harmonies, would this song have fared better on the Top 100? I know about the later success in Japan. I am speaking directly to the pop charts in 1976.hard-hitting conviction that pulls you in and makes you, as the listener, an actual part of the song.
