In mid-70s Cleveland, singer-songwriter and current radio DJ Michael Stanley formed the heartland rock group Michael Stanley Band. The band recorded albums through the late 70s and early 80s while touring constantly across the American Midwest. After the group folded, Stanley has since worked as a solo artist. His highest charting singles with the Michael Stanley Band were "He Can't Love You" (a #33 hit) in 1980 and "My Town" in 1983 (a #39 hit), which both got decent nationwide airplay. Tune "Lover" is also a fan favorite.
