Still think this was a cool sound. Use of the banjo was pretty cool.

This is a classic one hit

This is really good for something newer and i havent seen anything else worth mentioning from them

Great pick.  This was one of our local bands from Kansas City.  I've seen them many times; especially when I was in school at Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS) during the late '70s to early '80s.  Rock on!

I dont think this was ever a hit but when i was young pretty much everyone knew this song. Many bought the album just for this one song. Pretty sure i had it also. Things are bit fuzzy from back then.

Thats awesome!! Around 2004 or so I was fortunate to see them open for the very band they are often mistaken for, Kansas.  It was a great show.  That song of theirs has an immortal combination of powerful lyrics and incredible instrumentals. Prog on!!

They did not get much air play on much else either
 
Twilight Zone was about it but it was much different than Radar Love.

I don't quite agree with Jeff Healey as a one hit wonder. We heard more of his songs here and this cover especially:

Someone told me these guys do reunion gigs now and again. We did this song in the late 80s, only tune I ever bothered to do a bass solo on...

Mason Proffit might have 1 or 2 more but this was by far the most played back then. Great song too.

Tony Franklin, on my short list of favorite bassists. He and Boz Burrell of Bad Co. inspired me to play fretless.

Another Firm hit was Satisfaction Guaranteed
