Knight Rider and Quarterflash connection!

     When the G4 t.v. network showed the pilot episode of "Knight Rider", I watched it.  Not having seen the episode since the 1980's, I wanted to find out why it was intriguing to me back then.  The story... wow, pretty soft!  In the first 5 minutes of the show, the scene was set with the villains going through a Las Vegas casino.  On the casino floor, a non-descript band is playing background music.  Well, when the villains depart the casino, the band is playing "Harden My Heart" from the group, Quarterflash.  That wasn't Quarterflash's Rindy Ross on the vocals, either.  I contacted Marv Ross about this, and he confirmed that two Quarterflash tunes were used in Knight Rider, "Harden My Heart" and "Find Another Fool", but he didn't know in which KR episodes.  I only saw part one of the pilot episode and couldn't confirm if Harden My Heart was used later in part 2.
