I like them much better now, than I did then, and it's still kinda obvious the record company said "get us a Mamas & Papas-sounding group with a fat chick!"

Status Quo -- from what I've read, they've been around for decades -- they might even still be together playing the oldies circuit --  but this was their biggest hit by far.  great song, Cracker Van Beethoven covered this nicely.
