"Dawn Patrol"'s first single, "Don't Tell Me You Love Me", received a boost through its MTV video airplay, and peaked modestly at number 40 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. "Sing Me Away", a concert favorite sung by Keagy, fell short of the top 40 at a peak position of number 54, though it also was featured on MTV. Night Ranger's popularity solidified with their second album, "Midnight Madness", which pushed the band from opening act to headliner status by the summer of 1984. Apart from "Rock in America", "Midnight Madness" spun off two hit ballads: "When You Close Your Eyes" (number 14) and "Sister Christian" (number five), written and sung by Kelly Keagy for his younger sister, Christine. "Sister Christian" proved to be the band's milestone — as well as a millstone. According to a later interview with Gillis, "Sister Christian" was actually completed in 1982, but Gillis said the band chose not to release it on "Dawn Patrol" because they were afraid of losing their hard rock credibility.
