If you haven't ever listened to Kent Lavoie(LOBO), I highly recommend you find a copy of his greatest hits and give a listen, I wore that record out... literally, over one summer If you like melodic, folk/pop, with great stories and great singing, you'll love that album.
Here's another great one:
#22 on Billboard Hot 100, #4 on Easy Listening in 1973.

We lost Tommy DeCarlo of Boston this week. Boston has been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid. Their self-titled debut album is one of my all-time favorite albums. If I was exiled to a deserted island and could only take five albums with me, Boston's debut album would definitely be one of the five. Every single track on that record is fire!!! Not a single stinker. In fact, all are hit-level songs. The album passed 1 million units sold within three months of its release back in August of '76.
Just curious, RZ, do you have a favorite BOSTON song? Did you ever see them perform?
I am grateful that Tommy DeCarlo kept Boston and Brad Delp's music alive for the last, nearly two decades. Very well done, Mr. DeCarlo. RIP.
108. Now for the question. BOSTON's 1976 self-titled debut album is widely regarded as one of the best debut albums ever and record sales backed it up. The album , Boston , has sold over 17 million units in the US and well over 20 million worldwide, achieving 17x Platinum certification by the RIAA in 2003. Only two bands have managed to eclipse that certification with their debut albums. One of those albums was released in the late 80's and the other in the 90's. Can you name those two bands and their blockbuster debut albums that have bested Boston's 17 X Platinum certification?

I do apologize for this break to your fine nostalgic music thread, KY Fried, but I didn't want to start a new thread...
Just for fun, who can name these two folks who are related in a Hollywood kind of way. I must say that I knew they looked familiar but I couldn't quite place them. For fun I thought I'd pose it to RZers

That’s Lindsay Wagner, who I had a major crush on, and Lee Majors. A bionic duo.

I watched those shows religiously in the 1970s. Good to see them again...Lee has really aged since this picture in 2017:

Time flies. Lindsay is 76, Lee Majors is 86.

I was into her too. I was into a lot of 70s chicks back then...Linda Carter, all the Charlie's Angels, and Susan Saint James

Also interesting that both were married 4x. Although Lindsay really struggled with that. None of her four tries lasted more than 3 yrs

No problem at all, Sea. I love the pictures. Damn, Father Time really sucks.
