“You Make Me Crazy” – The Midnight Special (1978)

"The background singer girls were called "The Blackberries" and were for hire and not part of the band. This was me trying to write like Van Morrison… 1978 — I was 30 years old, can you believe that?!" – Sammy

"Musical Chairs" album included the rockers "Turn Up The Music", "Straight From The Hip Kid", "Reckless", but for this flashback performance goes to Sammy's first TV appearance and performance of the pop track "You Make Me Crazy" from Burt Sugarman's The Midnight Special. Only a month earlier Saturday Night Fever came out in the theaters. Check out the neon lights, short hair… and the boots!
