They sure were. I saw them before even Sara Smile was a hit. I happened to buy Abandoned…way back. So when they toured in like ‘75 I saw them in a small hall in Cleveland Ohio (USA.) The audience was at least 50% black, their soul was really popular even then. Then after Sara Smile was released and a hit from the album “Daryl Hall & John Oats” they went back to AL and released “She’s Gone” which then became a hit.
