Another musical connection from the previous post. Last time, I posted The Poppy Family's cover of 'Different Drum' but here is their biggest hit which got to #1 and #2 in the Canadian and US charts respectively.
Terry & Susan Jacks were married at the time and the band also featured a tabla player (not that you can see him in this clip). After their debut album, The Poppy Family continued as a vehicle for the married couple plus session musicians but never reached similar success outside of their native Canada again. As the marriage foundered, Terry & Susan decided to drop the band name but continued to work with each other for some time after (more on that in the next post). A great compilation CD was released in the mid-90s called 'A Good Thing Lost' - highly recommended.

Bonus Clips: One of The Poppy Family's more psychedelic tracks, 'There's No Blood In Bone'...
... and the later 'Where Evil Grows'.
