Hands down... it would be We Five...
2 reasons.....
Michael Stewart was their arranger ...
I think there's a good chance that John's brother was more talented than him....
He produced Billy Joel's first hit album.
He had serious mental problems. His son claimed that he killed himself.
The 2nd reason... Bev Bivins... their lead singer... better than Ronstadt.
I have 4 or 5 CDs that I consider to be my most valuable ones.
The Two We Five CDs are among them.
What was the best 1960s folk group?
Journeymen
For only one reason Scott McKenzie.
I was this dumb kid...trying to figure me out ...
Their CD is among my most valuable.
