Here is a lost classic from “back in the day” – the 70′s, 1973 to be specific, when bands played their own instruments, wrote their own songs and didn’t have to be “video-beautiful” to be big. The keyboard for the band in this video had several huge hits with his first group, and then went on to form Argent, whose hit song is featured in this post in a classic video.

Rod Argent, the founder of the classic rock band in the featured video below was also a founding member of The Zombies, who had massive success in the 1960s. The Zombies formed in 1959 in St Albans, UK, led by Rod Argent on piano and Colin Blunstone on vocals. The Zombies scored US hits in the with “She’s Not There”, “Tell Her No”, and “Time of the Season”. Their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle, comprising twelve songs by the group’s principal songwriters, Argent and Chris White, is considered one of the best of its time and is ranked 80 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
