This charted locally here, but unfortunately, didn't go national.

Here's to You--Hamilton Camp (1968)

Dr. Demento was all into “Root Boy Slim”

Saw him live a few times.

In the meantime I just stumbled onto “Blackfoot”

Haven’t listened to this since I was 18 and pounding down Bud’s while running from the cops.

Probably not too many of us that can recall the days of the “Boss jocks” and “Boss Radio”! Great times.

This acid rocker from England tripped through the charts in Southern California in November, 1966, but I don't think it scored anyplace else.

I remember hearing that when I came back from Germany in 1985. Heard it played in the clubs on Ft. Lewis.

I believe Good Time Charlie’s got the Blues was Danny O’Keefe’s only hit single. I’ve always loved it.

He did Cars as well. Gary Wright lives in comfort in Palos Verdes estates in California. He was paid well.
