"So in to You" is a 1977 hit single by the Atlanta Rhythm Section. It was the first release from their sixth studio LP, A Rock and Roll Alternative.

Background

In "So in to You", the singer admits an instant and mysteriously compelling attraction to a stranger entering the room, and is unable to focus on anything else. He attempts to gain the stranger's attention, hoping that she will be able to make a personal connection and that the "vibe" he feels will be mutual. It has been rumored that the woman in real life was Leslie Hawkins, one of the "Honkettes" back-up singers of Lynyrd Skynyrd and that drummer Robert Nix was smitten with her. This has never been confirmed, however.
