Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

I would like to spiritually adopt William Devaughn, also. Mainly because "Be Thankful for what you've got" is the best and most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Just read an article about him in the SOCAN members' magazine. SOCAN is the Canadian version of ASCAP.

I found it by clicking on a link in their Wikipedia article. As you can see, they play weddings. Maybe now they can take a weekend off.
Goat:
Ian Astbury's on the list? cripes. The RIAA ought to subcontract the finding of artists to the IRS. They seem to be better at it.
