yeah, baby!  EJ's "Your Song" followed by some off-the-beaten-path ABB: "Dreams".

OMGWTF! a commercial for the Blues Magoos 1970 "comeback" LP.  I wish Rob'd play "Never Go Back to Georgia" from that album, which actually got some decent NYC airplay.

It almost seemed like they had the Beatles approval!
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

well, they did hang around with them. Paul gave them "Come & Get it" and (per AMG):

" Ham, Evans, and Molland had key roles in projects associated with George Harrison, including singles such as "It Don't Come Easy" and the album All Things Must Pass, and at the Concert for Bangladesh. They also worked on John Lennon's Imagine album. Amid all of this activity, the group also recorded what the group believed to be their best album, No Dice, which yielded one classic recording, "No Matter What," as well as an original song, "Without You," by Ham and Evans, that was turned into a monster worldwide hit by Harry Nilsson. "

and here's a real Beatle -- BOS3 John, "Love"
