Written by Michael and Kenny Loggins, this was one of the few non-disco hits in America in the first eight months of 1979. 'What a Fool Believes' (with The Doobie Brothers) It was used in the movie Running Scared, and its music video featured actors Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.
This was Michael's last US top hit, released back in 1986.
