Yup-- those were BIG radio hits here in WNY back then. The mystery might be more with the lack of radio support for the two awesome ballads- Happy To Give and Why Can't This Night Go On Forever. ESpescially after their huge success with OPen Arms and Faithfully. Maybe Schon wanted to put the kaibash on the band getting too overly known for big ballads. After all--he HATED Open Arms when Perry wrote it. Maybe even MORE when it went down so well. Amazing that he even agreed to record that Raised On Radio album. It's sO not 'Rawk' for Schon. Just shows how much control ol' Stevie had on them at that time (espescially letting him fire Smith and Vallory-Yikes!). T
