This week, we’re joined by John Franklin (The Circle Season 4) to discuss the history and legacy of Wild Cherry, a band that’s been the soundtrack to dancin’, singin’, movin’, groovin’, and one-night stands for decades. Colvin was inspired to write the lyrics of the song by the painting she had chosen for the album cover, which shows a woman with a lit match in her hand.
