"No Sad Song" by Oscar Toney Jr.

Oscar Toney, Jr was an underrated soul singer who scored a minor hit in 1967 with "For Your Precious Love," which reached #23. His follow-up, "Turn On Your Love Light," stalled at #65. He'd have two more singles barely crack the Top 100 before disappearing from the charts in 1968.

Not sure why Toney wasn't up there with stars like Otis Redding with his emotive voice and style, which worked just as well on ballads as it did the upbeat numbers. Check out "No Sad Song" and see what you think; for his softer side, check out "Unlucky Guy."
