This morning I played "When I'm With You" by Sheriff and was reminded about the very unusual circumstances surrounding the song and the band.  It was originally released in 1983 and it did very well in Sheriff's home-country of Canada, but, not so good in America.  Two years later, the band broke up citing internal differences.  Here's where the story gets interesting.  In 1989, a New York City DJ rediscovered "When I'm With You" and started playing it regularly.  Pretty soon, it caught on across the nation and went all of the way to #1 on the Billboard chart - four years after the band broke up!  Sheriff singer Freddy Curci tried to get the boys back together, but, no go. 

Supposedly, Freddy has the world record for holding a note the longest... the last note of "When I'm With You."

I'm sure you realize that the photo isn' the band.  Do you know what it's from?
