There were a lot of great bands in the 70s, but GFR
& the Wolf not only were good.... they sold a butt-load
of records. WTF?!?!?!

GFR formed in '68. In '71 - just 3 years later - they
sold out Shea Stadium in 72 hours. With no MTV :-)

They didn't need it the had the master of Hype Terry Knight. Right on
Brothers and sisters. Oh puhleez
To compare ABBA and GFR is comparing Apples to Oranges. There were
LOTS of better things to listen to at those times than GFR. I know I
am in the minority here but as far as i was concerned then ( and now
) GFR was mediocre at best and alot of time down right awful
