When My Hunny & I chose to adopt a single mailing address, there was a blending of 12" LP's. Eclectic, to say the least. Certainly diverse.
"Highway Call" was in heavy rotation for quite some time. Stereo time was shared time.
He was Richard on that album.
Near/around my HS graduation year, "Jessica" became this bigass, mega-crossover hit. It was charting in multiple markets at the same time. Speaking only for 'Kid Clemmy,' I loved that an instrumental was chewing up the charts. For about 4 months after hearing this tune drop, I thought the the lead guitar solo was overdubbed to feature the parallel 3rds in the lead voice. Then, I saw Betts on late night Sat TV ("Midnight Special?' Don Kirshner's Rock Concert?" Can't remember- too long ago). I saw this one dude nail that melody/head, and lost my young, impressionable mind.
Thank you, Mr. Betts.
It's been a privilege to hear your music.
