Yeah some kind of liver issue. For no good reason the bridge to that tune came to me about a month ago. But for the life of me I couldn't remember the title or the artist. Drove me nuts until I decided to forget about it. Today his name popped into my head.

Actually, when I saw the video, the first person I thought of was guitarist Steve Vai... ...Blue Powder (known for the "windblown" thing along with leather pants) If I hadn't gotten the real story of how that came about, I might've guessed he got it from Roger Voudouris.

It's such a cool song,perfectly capturing the sound of late-70s AM pop.Produced by Michael Omartian (I'm sure you know who he is). | |

Regarding the band Crackin', Lester Abrams (Minute by Minute) was a member and also fronted a maybe even more obscure band called L.A.

Both groups had a Doobie's, AWB vibe.
Thanks for the info, now I have something else to hunt down. ..speaking of Johnny Otis, I've been drifting into Don "Sugarcane" Harris "Sugarcane" album, so far so good. National Funk League✮✮ | |
