About this episode
This week, we're joined by Joel Reader to discuss one of the strangest comeback stories in music history—Sheriff’s sappy power ballad, "When I’m With You." This Canadian band had already called it quits when their forgotten single unexpectedly climbed to number one nearly a decade later, thanks to a few radio DJs deciding to put the song into rotation. We’ll dive into the band's short-lived career, the impact of songwriter Arnold Lanni, and the cultural shifts that made this song’s resurgence so unlikely. Should you dive into the back catalog of Sheriff though? Stay tuned to find out. One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.
