1. There is no way that intro would ever get on AM Top 40 radio. Program directors are looking for songs that start off and grab you right away for fear that people would push the button and switch to another station. I don’t think this would get into the top 50 as the follow up, or top 60 it’s just released randomly.
2. Melodically it’s quite pretty, but I don’t believe it would have much appeal to teenagers jamming to the Jackson 5, Sly and the family Stone, Creedence and Three Dog Night.
3. The lyrics are so hard to hear clearly, and that’s essential to get adds.
If it were me, [[and it t’weren’t) - I’d have Then We Can Try Again or Wait A Minute out as singles. I was certain one of those would be next. Both of them have imperfections for my pickiness about what should be a single, but I think they were the strongest candidates.
I love the track for an LP B-side, however.
