I'll give another example of investigative music trivia.
There is a classic 70s song by the band Ides Of March called "Vehicle".
It has a very Chicago-esuqe style to it.
The lead singer/guitarist was a musician named Jim Peterik.
JP was also a songwriter & producer that went on to write hits and perform keyboards with the band Survivor.
Yes. The same band who wrote "Eye Of The Tiger".
What I find most interesting is that he basically wrote most of 38 Special's hits and transformed them into the pop version of southern rock.
Most that know 38 Special are aware that one of the Van Zant brothers was a member of the band too.
It's kind of funny how someone took a Skynyrd tied southern rock band turned them into a pop music crossover.
"Rockin' Into The Night" was actually presented and kicked around with Survivor's members before it was given to 38 Special.
What a weird musical journey Peterik has taken.
