PS: Last week I finally heard for the first time "Only a Lonely Heart Sees," Felix Cavaliere's 1980 solo hit, on Barry Scott's Lost45 playlist.  What a letdown!

BOS2: "Crosstown Traffic," which would be in my all-time Top 100 if it had been better produced (especially those massacred backing vox).

"Soul Drippins"?  BOS7 for obscurity alone -- Kudos, Bob!

ETA: it's The Mauds -- Bea Arthurs' old band.
