It appeared on his 1975 album Struttin ' My Stuff and was released as a single the following year. Bishop does not sing lead vocals on the track ; feeling that his gravelly voice would n't do the song justice, he invited vocalist Mickey Thomas, who was a background singer in his band at the time, to sing it. The song peaked at # 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in May 1976. The record was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on June 23, 1976. In Canada, the song reached number 22 on the singles chart and number 8 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song became a Gold record. Based on his work with Bishop, Thomas was invited to become the lead singer for Jefferson Starship. The song is featured in the films Queens Logic ( 1991 ), Illtown ( 1996 ), Boogie Nights ( 1997 ), Summer of Sam ( 1999 ), Big Daddy ( 1999 ), According to Spencer ( 2001 ), The Devil 's Rejects ( 2005 ), The Family Stone ( 2005 ), Invincible ( 2006 ), The Education of Charlie Banks ( 2007 ), Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay ( 2008 ), Stand Up Guys ( 2012 ), Lovelace ( 2013 ), Guardians of the Galaxy ( 2014 ) and Handsome : A Netflix Mystery Movie ( 2017 ).
