Traffic was an English rock and jam band that formed in 1967 and launched big careers, including those of Steve Winwood and Dave Mason. Despite being a hugely influential band, they never achieved great chart success here in the US. Traffic never reached the Top 40 and only broached the bottom of the Top 100 a few times, most notably with "Gimmie Some Lovin'-Part 1," which reached #68 in 1971. Nonetheless, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. "Feelin' Alright?" is another one of those songs you'll recognize and think, "Seriously, that didn't get onto the charts?!" This classic tune comes from their 1968 self-titled album.
Dave Mason is a singer and songwriter from England originally known for his work in the band Traffic. He struck out on a moderately successful solo career in the 70s. His best known hit was "We Just Disagree," which peaked at #12 in 1977. Mason's only other appearance in the top 40 arrived in 1978 when his version of the Carole King hit "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" peaked at #39. While reaching a respectable #45 in 1978, I always thought "Let It Go, Let It Flow" was a winner that deserved better. Mason resurfaced in 1993 as a short-lived member of Fleetwood Mac.
