Be My lover
Alice Cooper
WB 7568
This side is almost already a hit, thanks to concerted exposure from its parent Killer album. Its incarnation as a fast-spinning single should cement its hitdom. Alice belts out a semi-autobiographical song anent the dating possibilities for a member of a rock and roll band, noting that guys named Alice frequently get asked questions. The band pours several kilowatts of energy into each stroke of the beat, adding much propulsion to Mr. Cooper's vocal. Shades of "Eighteen." Shades of "Strangers in the Night." Great.
