Just saw him perform on an old episode of Merv Griffin. Just incredible singing voice. I wonder why the song was so popular. I just listened to the words of the song... I had never heard of him before.

Check out the world’s creepiest video for it on YouTube. Great song though.

He's so icky and the girl that he's stalking in the video looks slow. There's even a rape van in the video.

Perhaps my favorite one hit wonder. Was shocked when I found out he was white.

This is on one of my Time Life Soft Rock cds that I ordered from publishers clearing house years ago, one of the cds is named "Into The Night". Yeah, wtf was he thinking. Maybe he was going to "adopt" the girl and get around the whole pedo thing that way.

He and the song were featured on a VH1 one hit wonder show or something like that. He was in a band or something and one of his friend's or neighbor's kids cane by. One of the band mates said something like "she's hot, who is she" and Benny said "She's just 16 years old, leave her alone" and that was the genesis of the song. Benny struggled with alcohol and drug abuse and never really got it together.

In hindsight, it is an uncomfortable subject. I still like it, but It’s just a song. No one was actually molested in the making of the record.

But R23, then why make the video with the extra creep factor???

The anecdote at R22 smells of CYA after societal standards shifted
I have no doubt nobody thought twice about it in the 70s.
I’m sure Mr Jimmy Paige loved it!

His coke use led to Parkinson's in the early 2000s. He retired last Christmas.
