radio play much here in the US. Similar to PF Sloan not getting radio play. Sometimes it might have been for the best that the "Music Biz" didn't grab them and make them a "star". Hard to find that balance between being OK or being "owned". Sort of what Phil Ochs meant when he wrote "Chords of Fame".

was more thought of for country artists but like so many of that time they did have some other acts signed as well.
