I cannot do it. I used Google and he was a member of Spooky Tooth and I never heard of them.
The Genesis of hard rock/metal.

Did a little research when I posted that. Trying to figure out who he was here with in the 70's. Thinking it was Gerry Rafferty or Manfred Mann or if all 3 were here the same night. No luck on that but I did run across that info while I was looking. Not claiming any credit. But it did stick in my mind...well for a few days anyway. Spooky Tooth.

I saw Sugarloaf in concert a few decades ago. They were really good. Although not as well known as, say, "Green Eyed Lady", I thing this is their best piece:

Saw BOA in concert back in the 70's. Great live band, thanks to Jim "Dandy" Mangrum:

Wishbone Ash has been around since 1969. They've recorded quite a bit over the years. Their most commercially successful album was Argus, released in 1972. It's a great album and this song is my favorite:
https://youtu.be/mUolWNHxRiM
Amen.
I saw Steve Miller in concert years ago when this song hit the charts. He's put out a lotta good music over the years:
https://youtu.be/dV3AziKTBUo

Really good band from Springfield, Missouri:
https://youtu.be/ouP9Yz8TEBM

Eric Clapton had a big hit with Cocaine, no pun intended. This is the original:
https://youtu.be/wNUJSuO-lgw
It's actually an anti-cocaine song.
Amen.
I'm sure you'll remember Joan Jett's huge hit in 1982 called "I Love Rock and Roll". This is the original from 1975:
https://youtu.be/cJzPLhDf3-8
Amen.
Haven't listened to this one in a long time. The Heep was big a while ago and this song is one of the reasons why:
https://youtu.be/j73OsXo19vI
Amen.
It's hard getting my head wrapped around the fact that this song is over fifty years old. It was big in its day and has held up well.
Amen.
Heh, heh, heh. This song is good:
Amen.
These jammin' fools (said affectionately) were cool as hell back in the day. This is probably their most commercial tune:
Amen.

I had the pleasure of seeing Eddie Money in concert twice. He died in 2019, leaving a legacy of many hits and great music. Although this one wasn't a big hit for him, it's one of my favorites:
Amen.
Golden Earring is a Dutch band. They've been a hit machine for years in their native country. They even had a few in the good ol' USA. This is the first one and it is a dandy:
Amen.
I suppose Blues Image could be labeled a "one hit wonder." After all, they had only one hit. But, what a hit it was! Ride Captain Ride is one of those songs I wouldn't change a single thing about, even if I could:
Amen.
All the news out of L.A. made me think of this one -

Heh! And your comment and song made me think of this 1975 classic by a Tulsa lad:
Sadly, Dwight passed away in 2023.
Amen.
This song was huge in 1972. I remember watching the Jihadis killing all them Jews at the Munich Olympics and this song was playing on the radio that whole summer.
It's also got one of the greatest guitar riff hooks of all time. Sometimes I'll dig out my electric guitar just to play riffs like this really loud.
Badfinger was a great Welsh band. Badfinger was a tragic band. Of the four original members, only one survives. Pete Ham hanged himself. Tom Evans did the same thing several years later. Badfinger did leave us a catalogue of great music. This tune is particularly excellent:
Amen.

Heh. I would've loved to have seen 'em. Only two offed themselves. The drummer died in his sleep of a brain aneurism in 2005.
Amen.

Perhaps #2 song of the 70's.
Trapeze was excellent band from the 70's I wish I could've seen live. I did, however, buy two of their albums. FYI, Glen Hughes left to join Deep Purple; Mel Galley later played with Whitesnake; and last, but not least, Dave Holland drummed several years for Judas Priest.
This song is from Trapeze's 2nd album, Medusa:

Wow. That's fucking depressing. He's dead now. Died of lung cancer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Holland_(drummer)

Cheap Trick is still going strong with three of the four original members. I've seen 'em in concert and hope to see 'em again. This number never gets old:
Amen.

Yep. Pete Townsend is another one.
I always thought this band sounded like Yes. Guitarist Peter Banks did come from Yes, but he wasn't the vocalist. Anyway, I have the album and this number spent about 3 months on the charts.
Amen.
I still like this old classic by Jerry Doucette.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwsqoTugSK8
Good one! I'd never heard of Jerry Doucette until your post. I looked him up on Wikipedia and am sad to report he passed in 2022. He was married to Maggie for 43 years and they had five children.
Amen.
The great Dickie Betts passed away last April. "Blue Sky" is a song he wrote while with a band he helped found, namely, The Allman Brothers. Sweet and melodic, it's one of my favorites:
Amen.

I only know this song by him.
I saw Wet Willie in concert years ago. Damn good band and Jimmy Hall sho'nuff could sing. They formed in 1969 in Alabama and moved to Macon, Georgia. This made the top 10 in 1974:
Amen.
In 1971, Lee Michaels hit the top 10, never to return again:
Amen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQDsmJ7_gBg
Alvin Lee of Ten Years After was one of my favorite guitarists. Sadly, he passed in 2013 from a routine surgical procedure that went wrong. Anyway, the curious thing to me about TYA is that they had only one top 40 song, namely, this one. And it is a dandy:
Amen.
Another great classic rock tune I've gotta stick in here. Savoy Brown was headed by Kim Simmonds from its formation in 1965 until his death from colon cancer in December 2023:
Amen.
I was surprised to read that this song climbed to only #51 on the charts. Nevertheless, it's held up very well over time. As you probably know, James Gang front man Joe Walsh went on to join The Eagles after going solo for a while:
Amen.
I first heard this song played by a local band in a club I worked at back in the 70's. I loved it, but didn't discover until much later that it was a Fleetwood Mac song from their 1970 album Kiln House. It was written by former band member Danny Kirwan. He joined the band at the age of 18 in 1968 and was fired after a breakdown in 1972. His talent, however, was undeniable:
Amen.

Tom Petty was a hit machine. That said, this early single by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers didn't even make the charts initially, but it is one of my favorites:

He was a very good song writer.
I've seen John Kay & Steppenwolf in concert twice. I've three of their albums, including For Ladies Only. The song by the same name was far from their biggest, however, I think it's one of their best:
Amen.
The Cars had a number of hits and I really like this one. Benjamin Orr is singing lead. Sadly, he passed away in 2000 from pancreatic cancer at only 53 years of age:
Amen.
This song appeared on the Doobie Brothers highly successful 1973 album, The Captain and Me. It wasn't released as a single, but is one of my favorite DB songs:
Amen.

Captain Beyond was a supergroup formed in 1971: Former Deep Purple singer Rod Evans; Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell; Iron Butterfly guitarist Larry Reinhardt; and Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman. This is from their first album:
Amen.
I haven't listened to the legendary Robin Trower in years. Well, I just fixed that. Here ya go:
Amen.
This is one of those songs I've not forgotten, but rarely listen to. As I understand it, Mott the Hoople was on on the verge of breaking up, when David Bowie wrote this song for them and persuaded them to stay together. You can definitely tell it is a Bowie number:
Amen.

Stealers Wheel was formed in 1972 in Scotland by pals Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty. Both are now deceased, but their music lives on. "Stuck in the Middle" is their most well-known song, but by no means is it their only good one. They were very melodic and I've always liked this one from 1973:
Amen.
