Don't know if you've heard of them in Australia or UK, but they were a huge part of my childhood.

Sad.

They did not have many chart entries here but Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet was very popular on the Juke Box in the places we used to frequent.

It hits home even more when they pass in that he was younger than me.

Sad indeed!
Tim joins his brother Robbie who died recently as well.

"Taking Care of Business" and "Aint seen Nothing Yet" were huge hits in Australia.

Gordon Lightfoot as well was huge in Australia.

We also lost Broderick Smith an Aussie country rock guitarist. Did you guys know of him?
"Way Out West" was a huge hit from the seventies

Wow!

All Sadly missed. Great memories!

Sorry but if he got any airplay in Canada in those days it was on C&W music stations.

I was way more into the British invasion and west coast psychedelia in those days,
