Sensational '70's Tune for Monday, April 13th, '09

"When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" was a popular single by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. It was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, AL.

Written by Evan Stevens, When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman first appeared on the band's 1978 album Pleasure and Pain. Riding the disco wave in 1979 it belatedly became an international hit, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the USA and doing even better in the UK where it spent three weeks at #1 in November 1979. The song was subsequently added to the band's 1979 album A Little Bit More.
