Probably a hidden gem for us in the States, but in the UK it was a #1 single for a few weeks. I was in the UK in the summer of 1981 and that song was everywhere.
Great record, great single.

So, I was thinking the other day about songs that for some reason or another never became the great hits they deserved to be.
Take "Can't you hear me knockin" for example. An absolutely fantastic rock song, and my favorite RS song, but many many people out there probably won't ever hear it.
Aonther one that comes to mind is Led Zeppelin's Since I've been lovin you.
The best blues song I know of, and the same story. People who are not fans of LZ will most likely never come over this song, unless for some reason they stumble across LZ III.
And in this day and age, fewer and fewer poeple buy whole albums, or so it seems.
Therefor my Q is, what is you favorite "Hidden gems"?
Songs that one is not likely to come across without being somewhat fans of a band?
