The music and lyrics of the song were improvised on stage during a concert in Southern Ontario[10] (the guitarist, Randy Bachman, recalled it being at a concert in Kitchener,[11] although Burton Cummings, the lead singer, said it was at the Broom and Stone, a curling rink in Scarborough).[12] Bachman was playing notes while tuning his guitar after replacing a broken string, and he realized he was playing a new riff that he wanted to remember. He continued playing it and the other band members returned to the stage and joined in, creating a jam session in which Cummings improvised the lyrics.[11] They noticed a kid with a cassette recorder making a bootleg recording and asked him for the tape.[13] They listened to the tape and noted down the words that Cummings had extemporized, and which he later revised.[12]

Great game Steve! Love that song. Didn’t know it was created in a sort of jam session. That kid with the cassette should get some royalties..#153 is next!
Clue: the song was a hit in 1976 and credited to one writer. In 1986, another writer sued for plagiarism and won. This writer now shares co-writing credit. (Too many clues.)

Here’s JPF Mystery Tune #154 (Revised). Added a few more notes. This was an instrumental hit in 1968. Number 4 on the easy listening charts, or Adult Contemporary.
No, David, it’s not Hold Me Tight, sorry. It’s an instrumental and was written by a French artist, singer-songwriter, but performed by a different French musician and orchestra leader. It did chart in the U.S. though in 1968.
