But another good choice for that same market would have been "Ask Anybody." I think adult-contemp listeners would have gotten hooked on that one in 1984. I think it might have been one of the most frequently aired singles on those older-listener stations throughout the 1980s had it been released to radio as a single.
Does anyone else find this song to be annoyingly "choppy"? It's so "choppy", it's painful for me to listen to it. I don't know, to me, it just isn't "smooth" (I have no idea what the right word is to describe this, obviously!. I mean, it's "choppy' in the same way as "Not Make Believe" on the second SYW disc; Stevie's demo was melodic, but Lindsey made the song "choppy"!)

I always thought the other single they released from this album, "Love Will Show Us How", was a far better song than "Got A Hold On Me".
