  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn July 21, 1978, Todd Rundgren performed "Can We Still Be Friends" on the NBC-TV late night musical variety program 'The Midnight Special'...
    At the time the song was at #32 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eight days later on July 29th it would peak at #29 {for 1 week} and it spent 15 weeks on the Top 100...
    Between 1972 and 1978, as a solo artist he had seven records on the Hot Top 100 chart; one made the Top 10, "Hello It's Me", it peaked at #5 {for 1 week} on December 16th, 1973...
    He charted six more times as a member of Utopia {2 times}, Runt {3 times}, and Nazz {1 time, and that was with the original version of "Hello It's Me" in 1969}...

  • David from Liverpool, United KingdomI think he wrote it for Bebe Buell. 'Hurting For You', on the same album, is in the same vein.
  • Alma from Laredo, TxThis song was also in featured in the movie, Lethal Weapon 2 at the closing credits. Robert Palmer's cover is the best.
  • Gavin from Perth, AustraliaOne of the best ballads of all time!

    Also recorded by Rod Stewart.
