#Interestingly An interesting lil’ tidbit… and because I like the song... Jim Peterik also co-wrote, with Sammy Hagar, the title song for this 1981 adult-themed animated fantasy film. #JimPeterik #SammyHagar #HeavyMetal #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Survivor recorded a demo on Feb 1, 1982, at Chicago Recording Company... Stallone loved the raw energy so much he kept that demo in the film’s opening… even after the band re-recorded the track for the album/single. #Survivor #RockyIII #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly Jim Peterik was coaxed into meeting guitarist Frankie Sullivan in 1978... & They click & start a new group. Peterik recruited jingle-session vocalist pal Dave Bickler; drummer Gary Smith & bassist Dennis Keith Johnson (he’d known them from Chase). #Survivor #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Yeah… The ‘Jimmy’ that Bill Chase referred to in that clip was Jim Peterik. #BIllChase #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly Jim Peterik’s next Chase chapter? After the Ides of March went on hiatus in 1973, he reunited with Bill Chase for the third LP, Pure Music, credited as vocalist and songwriter. He didn’t tour, but he did make occasional guest appearances. #Chase #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Jim Peterik wrote “Boys and Girls Together” for Chase’s self-titled debut album while he was with The Ides of March… he didn’t perform on the track. The lead vocals were handled by Ted Piercefield, one of the trumpet players not named Bill. #BillChase #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly The Ides of March went from a high-school group in the Chicago ‘burbs to a national act... Jim Peterik wrote and sang “Vehicle,” but check out “L.A. Goodbye,” which was a big Midwestern radio smash and a fan favorite… also penned and sung by Peterik. #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
#OneHitHistory Happy birthday to American songwriter/musician & vocalist Jim Peterik, #BOTD in 1950. As the vocalist/guitarist for The Ides of March, Jim earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1970 with “Vehicle.” It spent 10 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #2. #JimPeterik #OneHitWondered
