80's Hit Song Review: "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" by Chilliwack (1981)


U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 22

Backstory: This Canadian rock group from Vancouver was formed in 1970 and actually had a couple of minor blip hits on the Hot 100 before finally making it big in 1981. This following single was their biggest U.S. hit single and made it as high as No. 3 on the Canadian Singles Chart. They would have two other decent sized hits in the States before disbanding in 1988, although they later reformed in 1997 and still perform regularly in Canada to this very day.

The Review: This is a really great and catchy rock/ power pop tune with many great hooks and melodies. It's really well recorded and highly fun and catchy as well. Love this one!

Final rating: 9/10
