Early 70's pop rock band that had a 1970 hit with a cover of
the Shirelles'
Baby It's You. They had several more hits in '70 and '71. Their sound included multiple lead singers and an upfront
Hammond B-3 organ.
Smith first came to my attention when I picked up a copy of the sountrack to Easy Rider. In the legalese on the bottom, the cover notes that though The Band plays the song The Weight in the movie "licensing issues" forced the producers of the soundtrack to include this "fine version" by Smith.
