"A Simple Man" by Lobo

70s soft rockers Lobo had more chart success than most people probably remember. They started big with a #5 classic in 1971 called "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" from their debut record. Their sophomore record got off to a sleepy start when "A Simple Man" stalled at #56 - it totally deserved better! This song should have been huge!

No worries, because the band sprang back with their next single, "I'd Love You To Want Me." This song went to #2 for 2 weeks and was followed by another hit, the #8 ballad "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend." Lobo would go on to score 5 more top 40 hits before their last chart appearance in 1979 when "Holdin' On For Dear Love" reached #75.
