Question

I only vaguely remember it (I was 31).... I wonder if it was a regional hit, say more popular in NY etc than in other places?

There are alot of views on the YouTube so maybe it wasn't played much in certain areas?

This is what we were listening to in 1977-- on the prog rock/jazz station here:

This is one of the earliest pieces by Renaissance. They were much bigger in Europe and Asia, than here, but we did get to 2 live concerts here--they still have a huge fan base, with the younger kids today.
They were the first prog rock/band that mixed classical/jazz/and beautiful lyrics. I still play them in my car! (Annie had the most remarkable voice) This one is one of my faves of theirs.

Unfortunately the YouTubes of Renaissance have poor audio...
This one is from a remastered CD...

You can hear how beautiful Annie can be!
