would that have been the first or second time they booked Murray? and Sedaka in the 70s was Top 10 in the US too (Bad Blood, Laughter In The Rain). maybe there wasn't AAA radio in the mid-70s but Taylor's (first) greatest hits LP came out then and it was massive. cutting edge it was not. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
