Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of Sammy Hagar's eighth studio album, VOA, which helped launch him into mainstream success thanks to what became one of his signature tunes, "I Can't Drive 55."
VOA peaked at #32 on the Billboard 200 album chart and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.
In 1985, following the success of VOA, Sammy was asked to replace David Lee Roth as frontman of Van Halen. With Hagar at the helm, Van Halen landed four #1 albums.
Hagar is currently on his The Best of All Worlds Tour, where he's playing both solo songs and Van Halen classics. The tour hits Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Wednesday.
