The first U.S. single by Paul Kelly & the Coloured Girls, who took their name from that song by that guy who was in that band with John Cale, then changed it to the Messengers, probably so Americans wouldn't need to spell colored with a u.
I don't think "Before Too Long" or its followup "Darling It Hurts" were U.S. "hits" per se , but they were both in heavy rotation on KFOG and MTV. Both songs came from the double LP Gossip, which was an amazing album and the high point of Paul Kelly's career.
