Dan Hill – Sometimes When We Touch

"Sometimes When We Touch" was a massive worldwide hit for Dan Hill. The ballad has been covered by several dozen people and translated into several languages. Originally released on the album Longer Fuse in 1977, it was released as a single in early 1978 and placed 95th on CBC Radio's list of greatest Canadian songs.
