Released in February 1983, this song is his 5th single. And this became the greatest hit of his career. Unfortunately he has passed away in 1999 at the age of 46 due to cerebral bleed.
Although it is a hit song of 37 years ago, it is still covered by many artists. The lyrics and nostalgic melody touches the memory of first love every one shares.
