I'm not sure these could have been "bigger hits" unless they were hits to begin with.

Ahhh, but they were hits. Each song reached the Billboard Hot 100 for at least a week.

The Canyons song sounds just like a remake of Takin' Care of Business.

Exactly, the bubblegum producers were looking for rock bands and I think BTO was one of their model groups.

How do you know all this obscure stuff?!

I try to research as much as possible. I put at least a few hours research into every video, and I still end up making mistakes. The newer videos also contain anecdotal info from when I grew up with the music. Joel Whitburn is the king of all music trivia and his books help me quite a bit.

I love all these songs and would have bought a lot of them:) Do you know where I can get them at:)? Thanks so much:)

This is a very nice collection. I recorded with Baron Stewart on his second album on MCA Temperatures Rising. Stu Cook of CCR on Bass and as Producer.Baron was a singer and co writer on Beach Boy Dennis Wllson's Album Pacific Ocean Blue. A very nice person and great, piano player and singer. Had a beautiful house looking out on the beach in Marina del ray where we rehearsed. Have not been able to locate him in more recent years. Very sweet to see him here. Thank You.

Great collection. Would love to hear all of "For Your Love."

[Bflat1]

Halfway through, I'm thinking they were lucky to get as high as they got.

lol I dunno man... with the obvious exception of Protheroe, all of these songs are kind of on the sucky side of bland, and that's being nice about it. 1975 had much, MUCH better to offer.

There is a reason that these songs were not bigger hits, THEY ARE CRAP

[Staggerbaroque]

Well done. I had never heard these songs before now.
