[edit] About the song
Milsap's 21st No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, it was the first chart-topper as a songwriter for former Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Mike Reid. Throughout the 1980s, Milsap recorded several Reid-penned songs which would become No. 1 hits.[1][2]
Although it never charted on the Billboard Hot 100, the song did enjoy minor success on adult contemporary radio stations, peaking at No. 27 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart.
[edit] "Carolina Dreams"
The B-side to the "Inside" single was "Carolina Dreams." Written by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan (the songwriting duo who had written several past hits for Milsap), the song never charted on the Hot Country Singles chart as its own single, but remained a B-side "tag-along" throughout the chart run for "Inside."
"Inside"/"Carolina Dreams" was one of several Milsap singles that charted with both A- and B-sides listed.
