Subway Serenade was the second and final album released by the band Looking Glass. It contained their second charting single, "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne". Following the departure of vocalist Elliot Lurie to pursue a solo career, the band would release one final single called "Highway to Hollywood" (written by keyboardist Larry Gonsky)[1] under the slightly altered name of "Lookinglass" in 1974 before drastically reforming their lineup and style into the heavy metal/power pop group Starz.
