*First line is the artist name. 1978. This song was written and first performed by this artist. It charted twice and was later covered in a duet by Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton. He wrote the song after watching The Sting which features a conversation between the Robert Redford character and a woman he is attracted to, who says: "I don't even know you." Redford's response, "You know me. It's two in the morning and I don't know nobody," caused an emotional response in this artist which resulted in this ballad. This artist is from Detroit. In the official song title, a common word is misspelled. I spelled it correctly here.
