I mean -- like wow.
I haven't heard the album in a million years, so I have no idea if the rest of the stuff on the record is similarly great, but I should add that not only is the song, objectively speaking, about as hauntingly gorgeous as pop rock gets, but unless I am very much mistaken, it's the only song Argent ever did that really betrays the provenance of its leaders previous band, i.e. The Zombies.
I mean, c'mon --can't you hear Colin Blunstone singing that?
In any case, may I just say again -- like wow. 😎

It's a good album, but nothing else sounds like "Schoolgirl," which might as well be The Zombies.
Lovely tune with some fine keyboard work.Haven't listened to the album in a long time. Thanks for the reminder to give it a spin.

That was my recollection as well.
Lovely track but, yes, unrepresentative of the overall body of their work. Argent were one of the few Prog bands that I can enjoy (are they Prog?).
Hey- here's a fun fact I came across recently: When Hunter & Ronson left Mott the Hoople, CBS suggested the band adding Russ Ballard as singer.
Thus changing history in unfathomable ways. 😎
