Key Largo (song)
"Key Largo" is a popular song recorded by Bertie Higgins in 1981. Released as a single in September 1981, the song became Higgins' only Top 40 hit in the United States in early 1982, when it peaked at #8 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. The song spent 17 weeks in the Top 40 and was certified Gold by the RIAA.〔Whitburn, Joel (2004). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 8th Edition (Billboard Publications), page 285.〕 In addition, "Key Largo" topped the adult contemporary chart for two weeks.〔Hyatt, Wesley (1999). ''The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits'' (Billboard Publications), page 262.〕 In the United Kingdom, the song reached #60 on the UK Singles Chart.
==Background and content==
The song's lyrics plead with a lover to reconsider ending a romance the singer compares to that depicted by the stars of the 1948 film ''Key Largo'', Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The glamorous couple is recalled in the lyric ''We had it all / Just like Bogie and Bacall / Starring in our own late late show / Sailin' away to Key Largo''. (In the film, though, Bogart and Bacall do not sail to Key Largo; Bogart arrives on a bus, and Bacall is already living there.) The lyrics also draw from the film ''Casablanca'', in the lines "Here's looking at you, kid" and "Please say you will / Play it again". The song "Key Largo" was included on Higgins' album ''Just Another Day in Paradise''. The album's title track topped out at #46.
In 2009, VH1 ranked "Key Largo" #75 on its program ''100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s''.
