Billy Squier (born May 12, 1950, in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts) is a rock musician. Squier had a string of arena rock and power ballad hits in the 1980s. He is probably best known for the song “The Stroke” on his 1981 album release Don’t Say No, which has been certified as Triple-Platinum by the RIAA. Other hits include “Lonely Is The Night”, “Everybody Wants You”, “Rock Me Tonite” and “In The Dark”. Squier left the music industry in the mid-1990s, due in part to issues with his label. He has been active in the 2000s, touring both as a single artist and as a member of the ‘Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band’.
Before fronting the band titled in his name, Squire was the frontman of the power pop group Piper.

I wore my Don't Say No "Album" out. It defined a part of my youth. "Lonely is the Night" & Nobody Knows" are 2 of my faves. If you like this, I highly recommend trying out "A View From 3rd Street" by Jude Cole. A Cd I wore out and had every bit the impact of this. Make sure to listen to "Heart of Blues" ,"Hallowed Ground" & "Get Me Through The Night", but there isn't a bad track on it.

I remember when Mark Sebastian, a Cincinnati DJ on Q102, locked himself in the studio (allegedly) and played Everybody Wants You a hundred times, circa 1983. Good stuff.
