“Loving You Sunday Morning” by Scorpions

"Loving You Sunday Morning" comes off Lovedrive, the sixth studio album by Germany's Scorpions, released in 1979. It was their first for Harvest in Europe and Mercury in North America after leaving RCA, and some critics hold it up as their peak. Rudolf Schenker wrote the music and Klaus Meine and Herman Rarebell the words, and the guitars come three deep: Schenker on guitar, acoustic included, Matthias Jabs on electric and slide, and Michael Schenker on electric, over Francis Buchholz's bass and Rarebell's drums and percussion. Meine sings lead, with Buchholz, Rarebell and Rudolf Schenker on backing vocals. Dieter Dierks produced and arranged it.

Lovedrive was the record that broke the band: it reached 55 on the Billboard Top 200, where none of the five before it had landed, became their first album to chart in the UK, and went gold in America in 1986.
