.38 Special (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Among.38 Special's best-known songs are "Caught Up in You" (1982) and "If I'd Been the One" (1983), both of which hit #1 on Billboard magazine's album rock chart, and "Second Chance" (1989), a #1 hit on Billboard's adult contemporary chart.

Rock Ahead - CD review - 38 Special - debut album from southern rock band 38 Special of course will always be lumped in with Skynyrd and many other Southern bands when in actual fact they were actually a pretty sophisticated band and more than capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of both Skynyrd and the Allmans. The album was virtually ignored in Britain although other 38 special albums would fare a little better perhaps if the band had toured here a little then the UK rock buying public may well have taken to them as much as they did Lynyrd Skynyrd. As an introduction to the mainstream rock buying public 38 Special was a confident debut release and one which the band would continue to build on over the coming years to good effect. www.themusicindex.com /rockahead/reviews/38special2.htm   (372 words)
