I wanted to send this song in and hopefully somebody will remember it and
make any corrections that are needed. This was put out around 1976, by a
group out of Louisiana, called Le Roux. Seems like I heard this on
American Bandstand, but I'm not sure. It may have just been a regional
hit. I don't know the writers name.
