Yeah, I seem to vaguely remember someone saying Stevie thought Kenny was difficult to work with in the studio or something like that, which kind of made me laugh. It’s hard for me to imagine the guy who made so many pop songs as a strict taskmaster LOL but maybe he really was a tyrant in the studio

By 1978 Stevie was a big star. I wonder why she was not credited. Perhaps they thought her name would overshadow Kenny? Many people were not aware it was her because she was not credited. I would expect on the album she must have received credit. But the single record and the record sleeve: NO. Maybe Warner Brothers would not allow it? Did she not lose the soundtrack to American Gigilo because Warner would not allow it. Blondie blew it out of the park but I would have loved to have know what lyrics she would have put to that song.

Although Kenny is very praising of Stevie today. He admits his solo career was going nowhere and that single made radio take him serious. I think its been debated before here but have the two ever performed the song live together? There are plenty of photos of them on stage together by mics. However you would think if true at least one recording would have made it to youtube after all these years?
