Music Head Wrote:They had a hippie transplant and injected some classical music for good measure
which gave us hippical music. The Go Now song is the only #1 hit they had in the UK and it went to #10 here. Their highest charting single here
was Nights In White Satin at #2, which is also my fav. Last charting single was in '88 with I Know Your Out There Somewhere. They had two #1
albums here and three in the UK. Last one was in 2003 and shows no chart activity. They still do the concert thing though and hopefully pull in
a crowd. Well deserving of any respect they can get. Not even any Grammy mentions, what a shame.
I think 'hippical' ought to be included in whatever the latest lexicon happens to be! And I echo your sentiments Music Head - how on earth have they remained so unsung? Odd! 'On the Threshold of a Dream' has to be one of my alltime favourites - beautiful album.
