* EDITOR’S NOTE: “Renegade” was originally released with it’s accompanying B-Side, “Sing For The Day”. However, by the time of it’s Top 40 entry, “Sing For The Day” was omitted from official release records. “Sing For The Day” was originally the A-Side back in January of 1979, and hit #41, but was ‘flipped over’ and “Renegade” began it’s own chart climb in March, 1979.
