While there is a sweet story behind this--after Sheriff's less-than-successful 1983 debut, the writer bought back the rights of the Sheriff catalog to show his then-young daughter that he had accomplished something in his life, after which "When I'm With You" hit number one--this is a typical one-hit-wonder band. All but nil chance of making the Hall of Fame, although a few of Alias's (Sheriff's successor) members are in with Heart.

If there was ever a singer who earned a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Freddy Curci possesses the talent to become a part of this list. His vocal quality and octave range are unsurpassed. His stage presence with Sheriff and Alias was something rarely found in any artist. One can see on his face and in his smile just how much he enjoys performing. He is able to sing hard rock songs with excitement as well as ballads with a tender touch that is signature quality Freddy Curci. In my view, he is one of the best vocalists and musicians of all time.

I don't know if either of the one hit wonders (sheriff and alias) should be in the hof, but frederico curci probably should. Hell, that long high note at the end of when I'm with you is worthy alone. Impressive! I wish he/they had had more luck and more hits.

When I'm With You charted twice on the Billboard 100 Singles chart in the United States. First in 1983 at # 61, then in 1989 at # 1. Number 8 in Canada in 1983.
