"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.
