It wasn't in the US. The Quiet Riot version is more well known here. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I barely heard of that one until a few years ago. I knew Quiet Riot from the Footloose soundtrack
I even knew the 90s Oasis cover of Cum On Feel The Noize before that one! | |

To me, this IS the famous, popular version (at least in Canada). |

It was Tesla in the US. I guess hair metal like Quiet Riot & Tesla didn't make it to other countries. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

But these acts were all over MTV. Quiet Riot was really popular for a little while and they sold a lot of albums.
