1) A mainstream pop/rock band with hard rock and soul-influenced arrangements. Smith hit the Top Ten in 1969 with their drastically revised cover of the Shirelles' "Baby It's You." Featuring three lead singers and a B-3 Hammond organ, their strongest asset was their most frequent vocalist, Gayle McCormick, an accomplished female blue-eyed soul belter. Most of their material consisted of covers of popular rock and R&B tunes, and they broke up after a couple of albums.
These are photos from concerts where Smith played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
