@kzone8 Thanks for believing... Here's the short story from wiki (not that you asked): Smith was an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1969. They had a blues-based sound and scored a Top 5 hit in 1969 with a cover of the Burt Bacharach song "Baby It's You", featuring Gayle McCormick on lead vocals. This disc sold over one million copies between July and October 1969, out-charted popular versions by the Beatles and the Shirelles, and received a gold record
...awarded by the R.I.A.A. The group evolved from "The Smiths" (not to be confused with later English band "The Smiths"), which featured two of the same members, and had attempted a hit single with "Now I Taste The Tears", produced and arranged by Ron Budnik. "Tears" was a brooding, foreboding sounding record that didn't chart well. When the band didn't succeed, McCormick, who had started her career singing songs by Tina Turner, Etta James and others, was added as a front woman and lead
...vocalist. The group were then discovered by 1960s rocker Del Shannon in a nightclub in Los Angeles. Shannon arranged "Baby It's You" for the group and got them signed to the ABC-Dunhill label.

@MJHasOwlEyes The wheels fall off at 11am in my world (USA/east). Not sure where you are. Rumor has it there will be intermittent down times prior.

I wasn't looking forward to this one, 'cause I read it quickly and thought it said "The Smiths." This I like.
