From my most favorite album by Roxy Music, Siren, this was one of the top dance songs of 1976 in the United States and 1975 in the UK. From Wikipedia: "Love Is the Drug" is a 1975 single from English rock band Roxy Music's fifth studio album Siren ... A number two hit in the United Kingdom, it also gave the group its first substantial exposure in the United States, reaching number 30 in early 1976 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and doing even better on progressive rock radio ... The song started as an Andy Mackay instrumental, but then gained lyrics from Bryan Ferry; Ferry said the song came to him while he was walking and kicking the leaves in London's Hyde Park." In the US, this rock and funk classic debuted on Cash Box at #91 on December 20, 1975, peaking at #30 on Billboard's Hot 100 on March 10, 1976 and #24 on the Cash Box Top 100 on March 13, 1976.
