About When I'm With You

"When I'm with You" is a power ballad by Canadian arena rock band Sheriff. The song was released in January 1983 in Canada as the second single from their self-titled debut album. A top ten hit in Canada in 1983 (and a minor U. S. hit at the same time), the song later hit number one in the United States in 1989, four years after the band separated in 1985. This song is also notable that it was one of the few number-one hits not to have a promotional video during the MTV era. In addition, the song is known for lead vocalist Freddy Curci holding the final note for 19. 3 seconds, making it the longest-held note for a male pop singer. more »
