Foreigner released their second studio album, Double Vision, which peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.

The album featured such future Foreigner classics as the title track, which spent two weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Hot Blooded,”  which went to #3.

The album was the last with the band’s original bassist Ed Gagliardi, who was replaced by Rick Wills.
