To me, this song is the masterpiece on the album. At least it spoke to me in 1977...This day in Rock history: @STYXtheBand released the album "The Grand Illusion" in 1977. The date 7-7-77 was chosen on purpose, for luck, and it paid off by launching the band into stardom with songs like the title track, "Fooling Yourself," "Come Sail Away" and "Miss America." pic.twitter.com/lJvuyNkkl5

Styx
I lived in Germany in 1977 and we came home to Chicago for Christmas. That's the first time I heard of Styx. I bought this album, and brought it back to Germany to play for my friends there. We all became huge fans.
