40 Years Ago - 1984 Billy Squire released his fourth album Signs of Life.
The album's best known song, "Rock Me Tonite", was his best charting Pop hit (#15) and second #1 single in the Mainstream Rock charts.
The song is sometimes associated with the end of his career as a singles musician due to the music video, which was described as one of the worst ever in the 2011 books I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution and MTV Ruled the World: The Early Years of Music Video. (yes...read the books..they are great!) Directed by Kenny Ortega, it shows Squier dancing around a bed with pastel-colored satin sheets and wearing a pink tank top.
"Can't Get Next to You" made #51 Mainstream Rock.
