“I'll Fall in Love Again” by Sammy Hagar
From the album Standing Hampton (1981)
“I'll Fall in Love Again” by Sammy Hagar appears on 9 radio countdowns from 3 stations between 1990 and 2011. It was first released in 1981 on the album Standing Hampton. Its best result is #333 on The Loop USO Rock 'N' Roll 500 (2010). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #3,060 classic rock song of all time.
Sammy Hagar wrote "I'll Fall in Love Again" by himself for Standing Hampton, his sixth studio album and his first for Geffen after leaving Capitol, and Keith Olsen produced it, engineering alongside Chris Minto.
The record around it was a turning point: Hagar's first album to earn an RIAA certification, eventually going platinum, with five of its singles charting on the rock or pop lists. He had meant to call it One Way to Rock until a British fan tipped him off to a bit of Cockney rhyming slang, and the title that resulted is a bawdy little joke, one the cover art, a gentleman meeting a woman in several stages of undress, plays right up to.
