BOS to apocalypse soul: PG&E (the long version!), with fantastic backing gospel vox from the Strawberries.
I love this song, but know nothing about it.

What about the Strawberries?
Oops, wrong fruit (a recurring theme today?): They were the Blackberries. Per the Billboard Book of One-Hit Wonders (an entertaining read, albeit with more than a few factual and copy errors), they were a group of session singers: Vanette Fields, Clyde King, Shirley Matthews, and Lorna Willard. The song just wouldn't have been the song without them.
Those people I recognize! I think they have sung with Boz before too.
Three out of four of them have backed Steely Dan too--Fields, King & Matthews. Check the credits for Aja.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love these conversations?
