Quarterflash - Harden My Heart (1981 LP Version) HQ

"Harden My Heart" is a song by rock group Quarterflash, written by their guitarist Marv Ross. It is a million-selling Gold-certified single and was featured on the band's Platinum-selling Quarterflash album, released in 1981.

The song was originally released as a single in early 1980 by Seafood Mama, Quarterflash's predecessor band. It featured more sparse instrumentation but a more dramatic vocal arrangement than the hit version and was a regional success on radio stations in Portland, Oregon.

After changing their name, Quarterflash released their self-titled debut album in 1981 which contained the new version of "Harden My Heart". This power ballad version was released as the album's first single. In early 1982, it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

The song reached the top 20 in Germany, New Zealand and France. It was the group's only top-ten pop single in the United States, although the follow-up single from the album, "Find Another Fool (Quarterflash)", and the 1983 hit "Take Me to Heart (Quarterflash)" both entered the top 20. It reached No. 41 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart.
