"You Got Me Going" by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Irish singer/songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan is best known for his tear-jerking #1 smash, "Alone Again (Naturally)," which wept at the top of the chart for 6 weeks in 1972. Most people struggle to think of another hit by O'Sullivan, but he's had several, including "Clair," which stayed at #2 for 2 weeks. He's not just a balladeer, either, as evidenced by the upbeat tunes "Out Of The Question" (#17), "Get Down" (#7), and "Ooh Baby" (#25).

After these chart bursts, O'Sullivan quickly cooled off in the US, his last top 100 appearance being "Happiness Is Me And You" landing at #62 in 1974. He's continued to make tons of records through the years, the last one in 2018.

"You Got Me Going" comes from O'Sullivan's hitless 1977 effort, "Southpaw." Not sure why audiences abandoned his pop sensibilities so prematurely. This song, and many others, deserved better.
