‘You and Me’ by Alice Cooper – Classic Hit or Miss

Want to thank Dr. Tom from Big Rapids for this long fogotten tune...

Orignally released in 1977 as the lead single from his album Lace and Whiskey. The song was an easy listening ballad, reaching #9 on the US singles charts in 1977. It may have alienated even the biggest of Cooper's rock fans as it turned out to be his last US top-ten hit until "Poison" 12 years later.

Cooper regularly performed "You and Me" live on his 1977 and 1978 concert tours. He also performed the song on The Muppet Show in 1978, as a duet, which is the video I've shared here.

A side note - Frank Sinatra performed "You and Me" as a tribute to Cooper, after Cooper helped a young boy gain entry into a baseball game. The boy turned out to be Sinatra's best friend's son.

It was a hit for Alice back in '77 - how about now?
