"Stumblin' In" is a song written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, performed by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro. Originally released as a standalone single, it was later added to some editions of the Quatro album If You Knew Suzi... [2] It was Norman's first single as a solo artist.
The writing-producing team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn were behind many of the 1970s hits for Suzi Quatro and for Chris Norman's band Smokie. In 1978, Chapman, Chinn, Quatro, and the members of Smokie were all at a party in Düsseldorf. As Chapman recounted, "Suzi was playing bass, and Chris was there with his arm round her, and they were singing into a mike, and I thought what a fantastic duet they’d make, because they looked so great together. The next day, I was in the studio with Suzi, and during a break, I came up with the line, 'Our love is alive'…I looked at Suzi and said 'What about this, with you and Chris? Wouldn’t it be great?' and she said it sounded fantastic.” [3]
The single peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979. The song was Quatro's only U.S. top 40 hit and Norman's lone U.S. charting effort apart from his time with the band Smokie (where they charted three times while Norman was still a member). In the UK, where the song was also Norman's only chart hit as a solo artist, the disc hit the listing on 11 November 1978 and peaked at number 41 with eight weeks on the chart. [4] It reached No. 11 on the Canada RPM Chart, but went to No. 1 on the Canada Adult Contemporary Chart. [5]
In 2021, the song was used in the Paul Thomas Anderson film, Licorice Pizza . A year later, in 2022, "Stumblin' In" was featured in episode 3 of the Netflix drama Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story . [6] [7] [8]
