"All I Wanna Do" by Silver

Silver was a soft rock band formed by the expansion of the duo known as Batdorf & Rodney, who scored two minor chart hits in 1975 with "You Are A Song" (#87) and "Somewhere In The Night" (#69). The latter would become a big #9 hit for Barry Manilow a few years later.

In 1976, Silver had their one and only chart appearance when "Wham Bam (Shang-A-Lang)" reached #16. It came from their self-titled record, which contained a number of other radio-friendly tunes that seemed to have chart potential as well, like the upbeat "All I Wanna Do."

Afterwards, the keyboardist (Brent Mydland) joined The Grateful Dead until he passed away from a drug overdose in 1990 at the age of 37.
