1975
The year saw the successes of a one-hit wonder from England and two bands of American workingclass heroes,one northern and one southern.How Long was Ace's only hit,which came out of the British pub-rock scene.Although the song sounds like a paean to lost love,it was actually singer-keyboardist Paul Carrack's bitter message to bassist Terry Corner, who temporarily crippled the group by quitting to work with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver in 1973, just when things were starting to look up for the Ace.Nevertheless,Corner returned to the fold in time to play on his song.

Grand Funk Railroad remade Some Kind of Wonderful, a 1967 regional hit for Soul Brothers Six in Detroit. Though it had little impact elsewhere,the original remained so influential in the Motor City that its signature riff was reworked into I Can't get Next to You, a No. 1 record for the Temptations in 1969,long before Grand Funk of Flint,Michigan, made it into a pop smash themselves.
