They were best known outside of Canada for the 1971 hit Sweet City Woman, which often shows up in one hit wonder lists, but what you may not know is that they were far from a one hit wonder in their homeland.  I still hear a good mix of these on radio stations today!

For me, their best song will always be Carry Me.  The guitar solo in it is absolutely wonderful!
