"Someone Like Me" by Bert Sommer

Bert Sommer, who played Claude in the musical Hair, became a one-hit wonder in 1970. His lone chart appearance was "We're All Playing In The Same Band," which managed to reach #48. Before that, he spent a little time as lead singer for The Left Banke.

Quite inexplicably, Sommer could not land another chart appearance with the many harmonious gems on his follow-up self-titled record. "Someone Like Me" is a perfect song from the era that should have given him a higher profile. He passed away from illness in 1990 at only 41 years of age.
