I Believe by Chilliwack
I Believe
by Chilliwack
January 1982
As January 1982 segues into February, the single 'I Believe' from the Canadian group Chilliwack is at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song, a track off the 1981 album Wanna Be A Star, would eventually peak at No. 63 the first week of February. It peaked at Number 13 on the Canadian singles chart.
Chilliwack was an underrated band, better known in their native Canada than in the U.S. 'I Believe' is a rock ballad that displays the band's musicianship and the vocal capabilities of lead singer Bill Henderson (there was no such thing as Auto-Tune back in '82...............)
Really enjoyed what I got to hear from this band. "My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)" was a favorite my senior year in high school and at the time it was popular, I don't guess I realized they actually recorded "I Believe," but that was a favorite, too, back in the days where you'd hear a song on the radio and it might be thirty minutes before they told you who was singing it. Thanks for posting and jogging my memory.....I may have to track down a little bit more of their music.
