'Key Largo' is a popular song recorded by Bertie Higgins in 1981. Released as a single in September 1981, it 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.[2] In addition, 'Key Largo' topped the adult contemporary chart for two weeks.[3] In the United Kingdom, the song reached #60 on the UK Singles Chart.
Background and content[edit]
The song's lyrics plead with a lover to reconsider ending a romance the singer compares to that depicted by the stars of the 1948namesake film, 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. 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.
In 2009, VH1 ranked 'Key Largo' #75 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
