bonus live version from teh midnight special ... also amazing ...

1. I honestly had np clue, when I clicked on the 1st video.

Then, I thought...."oh yeah, that was part of the soundscape back in the 70's." Relaxing Rock. if you will.

3. It's actually 1980 :)

There earlier top 5 hit 'How Much I Feel' was a mid-70's tune though.

I think it's such a great song and performance ... the harmonies, the multiple great hooks, the playing of the ensemble ... bit of an under-appreciated song in my estimation. One of those 'everything came together perfectly' moments in the rock and roll pantheon.

2. Never just sat and listened to this

It was always sort of background music. Jeez, that man has beautiful pipes, great guitar work, arranging. Reminds me a lot of the best work of Michael McDonald.

4. Oh, good stuff.

Would you consider Ambrosia “blue eyed soul”, Hugh?

[hlthe2b]

5. maybe... Takes me back though and is super relaxing to listen to.

Got so much air play back in the day. But they really are excellent pop songs.

Both with a Daryl Hall connection 😉

8. Oh, I got you down baby ...

Sara Smile is also a flawless pop gem in my book ... but all their hits were solid.

10. Ooooh now yer talkin' .....

I’ve seen H & O twice …. Once in the early ‘80s and then again in 2019. They still sound great!

“Sarah Smile” — perfection - that Philadelphia sound. Brings back such good memories….

11. Yep

Yep!

Blue-eyed soul indeed.
