Hey Jamel 🤗 Just wanted to let you know I was watching your reaction to Take It Easy On Me by the Little River Band a few days ago & noticed that one of the founding members, Graeham Goble, had commented that he enjoyed your appreciation for his music. The comment only got a couple of likes & yours wasn't one of them, so I wasn't sure if you had seen it. I didn't check back again so maybe you saw it later. Just wanted to give you a heads up ✌️💜

Man. I'd be 70 now, but what a gas it would've been to be have been born in 1951. As it was, I was raised by a boomer, so I heard a lot of these songs in my 70s childhood, including this one.

Ed King, who played bass guitar and lead guitar at different times with this band, and Mark Weitz, the keyboardist, wrote the music. Someone from outside of the band wrote the lyrics. Ed King, by the way, is responsible for the opening guitar riff on Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama.

@@ronnelson7828 Interesting. While I was looking it up I saw this interesting tidbit on Wiki - the vocalist was never in the band! “The first and most famous SAC single was "Incense and Peppermints", produced by Frank Slay and initially released by Thee Sixpence on All American Records, owned by Bill Holmes, the band's manager and producer. The band was not impressed by songwriter John Carter's singing, so Slay chose Greg Munford, a 16-year-old friend of the band who was from another group called Shapes of Sound, to sing lead on the track.[8] The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the week ending November 25, 1967.”
