Kiss You All Over

"Kiss You All Over" is a 1978 song performed by American music group Exile, written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. It was included on the band's third album, Mixed Emotions (1978), and featured frontman Jimmy Stokley, guitarist J.P. Pennington, and bassist Danny Williams on vocals. On the American Top 40 broadcast of May 26, 1979, Casey Kasem reported that Chapman stated his source of inspiration for "Kiss You All Over" was "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me" by Barry White. The song was a number-one single in the United States, but proved to be Exile's only big hit in the pop market; they later achieved success on the country music charts.
