In 1977, Canadian-born Dan Hill hit #3 with the ballad "Sometimes When We Touch", co-written by Barry Mann. He didn't have another Top 40 hit until 1987 with the #6 hit, "Can't We Try", a duet with Vonda Shepard. Had it not been for the latter, Hill would have been labeled a one-hit wonder. In 1978, he missed the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 with "All I See Is Your Face", peaking at #41. That same song did hit the Top 40 on 2 other charts; at #35 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, and the Cashbox Top 100 at #37. This is the follow-up, "Let The Song Last Forever", which didn't fare any better, getting only as high as #91 (although it was a bigger hit on the Canadian Hot 100, peaking at #14). Like "Sometimes When We Touch", "Let The Song Last Forever" was co-written by Barry Mann. You will agree that both these songs, both taken from the 1979 LP "Frozen In The Night", deserved a much better chart fate.
