*The frontman for this London band formed in 1970 was no stranger to going solo as well. His 1975 solo effort came at a time when both the US and UK were flirting with disco music. The track we'll play is about hitting the streets in search of some casual, no-strings frolicking. The singer envisioned it as a young guy zooming off in a car, looking for action at a club.

He played with said artist on a 'Live' album released in 1984...one that included a lengthy rendition of one of the artist's most famous songs. Name the artist and extra credit for the song name... *This artists' 9th studio album was a 1995 musical which based the work on the classic story of Faust, but updating the story to the modern day and infusing it with humorous cynicism.

While the song lyrically did not interest him, he has been told by many strangers that this song means more to them than anything else he's ever written.
