Back in the spring of 1975 there was DJ who was handed a 45
by the Music Director of a local AM station. The MD said the
record company was pushing the tune, it was written and previously
recorded by Neil Sedaka and was going to be a hit. The DJ listened
to a minute of the song and said it was a stiff.

Goes to show that when I'm wrong, I'm wrong BIG TIME. I was
that DJ and the song was "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain
and Tennille. #1 song of the year, Grammy winner.
