Gentle Giant - So You Want a Hit Single? Here!

1974.  Gentle Giant goes to a new label that desperately wants a hit single.   The band, being a pretty hard core prog unit was at a loss.  Their decision - let's write something catchy and stupid.  We'll see how it catches on.

The result was this.....

Gentle Giant  - The Power and the Glory b/w Playing the Game (WWA 1974)

It was not a hit and the band was then encouraged to do what they do best. As opposed to most other prog bands of the era, their stuff has aged well.
