"Hold on Loosely" was such a massive hit for .38 Special that it's easy to forget just how many singles they had on active radio in the '80s. They practically owned the airwaves with the Southern-flavored arena rockers "Caught Up in You," "Rockin' into the Night," "If I'd Been the One," "Back Where You Belong," and "Like No Other Night."
