I use to hear this on the radio all the time....

"Mardones co-wrote the 1980 soft rock hit "Into the Night" with Robert Tepper. The track was featured on his second album Never Run, Never Hide, and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum. Its success catapulted Mardones into the limelight, but he spiraled into substance abuse that resulted in his being dropped by his label Polydor Records. Though he eventually overcame his addiction, Mardones produced no other hits during his career."

Not serious music just a fun song a lot of morning shows used to play for the going to work commuters to maybe bring a smile before going into the hell otherwise known as the soul sucking corporate world.

I saw these guys at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis back in 1979. They got there about an hour late. The opening act wasn't very good but gamely tried to stall the crowd. When The Knack finally got there, they played all of the songs on their one album, then covered a few of Elvis' hits. That took about 45 minutes total. It was kind of lame.
