The first time I heard Sneaker's "More Than Just The Two Of Us" on "American Top 40," I thought, "I'll bet this turns out to be a big hit. The singer is professing how devoted his beloved girlfriend or wife and he are to each other, the tune has a solid chorus, and with so many soft rock stations on the radio, this immediately accessible ballad is bound to be a staple track of request and dedication shows."
To my surprise, "More Than Just The Two Of Us" wasn't the smash hit I'd predicted. To this day, "American Top 40" is still the only place I've heard it, outside of the recording I purchased. Maybe it was a matter of timing. The song became a minor hit just before Christmas in 1981 and disappeared from the charts in early '82. Perhaps it got lost in the Christmas rush and wasn't promoted heavily.
Still, "American Top 40" is a large platform, and with its easy-to-digest Valentine's Day sentiments, it still puzzles me that "More Than Just The Two Of Us" isn't better known.
