*First line is the band name. 1976. Band from Boulder, Colorado. They got their band name from an event that used to occur at Yosemite National Park in which the owners of a hotel threw burning logs off a mountain in a cascade as an annual event to entertain the guests. The park service stopped it in 1968. A band member accounted for the success of this song by saying every female wanted to be the woman in the song and flooded radio stations with requests for this song.
