Growing up in the 80's, we used to pick up Canadian radio stations across Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This was one of those great Canadian bands that we would hear in the early 80's. We got a steady dose of great artists like Rush, April Wine, Frozen Ghost, Prism, Kim Mitchell and so many others. Canada has some great musicians. I feel so blessed to have grown up hearing these bands.

Lynda Bartram it got a lot of airplay here in the Bay Area in late summer/fall of 1981. But I have not heard it on the radio since. 80’s stations will play Duran Duran and other new wave bands or hair bands but won’t touch many of these early 80’s pop/rock one hit wonders. “Sausalito Summernight” by Diesel is another lost tune I haven’t heard since 1981 on the radio either.

an absolutely flawlessly crafted pop rock gem. a perfect song. should have been a massive hit.

The first time I remember hearing "My girl", I was piloting the "Flight of the Phoenix", my 56 chevy , and had my Fulltron stereo system zeroed in on the Spokane FM rock channel. I had just touched down on the Main in Wenatchee,Wa. comming in off Deepspace Highway. I distinctly remember the goosebumps you get when one hears the "Good Stuff" (ASMR), and here I am 22 seconds later at 64, be careful, you young little nippers Time travel moves ever so rapid, but the memory remains, coming back with the music!

I'm right there with you. It's amazing the memories that come back when you here these 80's classics.

This song evokes generational feelings of the late 70’s early 80’s rock, I was around 45 years old when this came out and remember it well. I also think of Cliff Richards “A little in love” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore”. Also evokes: and “Luke, I am your father”

I love this song!!! Randomly found out about this group 9 months back. Even though SCTV pokes fun of this tune, its a great Rock single from the 80s!

They hit #22 in Billboard, 12-12-81. God bless you, Kenny, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed rest of the week!

When I was about 3 or 4 y/o one of my older cousins used to be a DJ in my native country of El Salvador and he used to bring records to my grandma's house and play them in his free time, well this was one of my favorite songs he used to play, I would beg him to repeat it over and over again, after a few years I never heard this song again, not even here in the US, but some times I would have those childhood memories and think about this song, as I learned the English language I realized the song said "She's gone..."but I could never find the artist, I thought it was the Police because my cousin used to played them a lot, but it wasn't, but last year I heard it for the first time in 40 years on Walmart radio and paid attention to the lyrics and found it here on youtube, I feel a great sense of accomplishment!!!!😄👍

This great song made Fall 1981 memorable.

I love this song. It makes me think of a girl named Joan that I went to art school with. They don't write them like this anymore. My Girrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I had a pretty good grasp of early Eighties music as a DJ for ten years. I heard this song for the first time in February, 2018. How this song was not an international #1 is beyond me. The harmonies are so rich and well designed - the song is a complete masterpiece and I am so glad to know it now! Chilliwack is now one of my favorite "New" old bands. Incredible orchestration and production - thanks for brightening my day!

Agreed. Just became aware of them now.

Excellent song. Forever embedded in my brain.

I remember as a little kid when this came out on MTV.....I loved this song but never knew the band name......It took me 30 years to find out who sang it! It always played in my head

One of my favorites from senior year of high school.

Extraordinarios! genial interpretación de esta canción atemporal!

This is my happy song and when I listen to it I am still right there and I don't care what dang year it is. Timeless awesomeness. Hey where are my sunglasses? Iike to wear them at night. Anyone out there remember? hello?? Hello? Where are you?

Geez---I WISH somebody would invent a time machine, and it could take us back to late 1982!

Oh hell yeah. This video cycled hourly during MTV’s infancy. I loved it every time it aired too!

Brian amazing musician and sadly missed. He would of been 57 today.

Hello Wendy, How are you doing?

Chilliwack(the town not the band) is located 63 miles southeast of Vancouver. Chilliwack(the band) was formed in 1970. My favorite song of theirs. Cheers!

Just heard this song on the radio during an 80's segment. Forgot how cool a song it really is! Oh Canada!

Hello Judi, How are you doing?

There is this thing between the bridge and the final chorus, it feels like a key change but isn't. It's incredible...I love this song so much.

Great harmonies. Still love this song in 2020. Thanks for posting DefKennyT. Cheers!
