"So in to You" is a 1977 hit single by the Atlanta Rhythm Section. It was the first release from their sixth studio LP, A Rock and Roll Alternative.
Background
In "So in to You", the singer admits an instant and mysteriously compelling attraction to a stranger entering the room, and is unable to focus on anything else. He attempts to gain the stranger's attention, hoping that she will be able to make a personal connection and that the "vibe" he feels will be mutual. It has been rumored that the woman in real life was Leslie Hawkins, one of the "Honkettes" back-up singers of Lynyrd Skynyrd and that drummer Robert Nix was smitten with her. This has never been confirmed, however.
Chart history
The song became their greatest hit, spending three weeks at number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 [2] and two weeks at number five on Cash Box. It did best in Canada, where it reached number two, [3] blocked from the top only by the Eagles' " Hotel California". "So in to You" was also an Adult Contemporary hit: it reached number 11 in the U.S. and number 12 in Canada. [4]
