No big deal. I didn't know what the artist's name was until I posted the song. I did however, listen to Thunder Island by Jay Ferguson a few hundred times over the radio, walking through the malls, or the local Safeway. Clearly not a very successful artist (We've never heard of him until now) although the album of the same name was a commercial success.
WordWolf I'm afraid you might have to look this one up again. Sorry about that. George I don't know if you're familiar with it either.
You know I need your love, you got that hold over me Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman,
I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies Ducks and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall to wall American ladies five-foot tall in blue
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen not to what's been said to you
Let's see if I can get your wheels spinning in the right direction. This song was first played live by a Super Group at the Woodstock Music festival. The Super Group has played it over 450 times `live' so says the Wiki source.
So now you know the era and with a little guess work you can minimize it down to a few groups.

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen not to what's been said to you
All aboard the train, all aboard the train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there I smell the garden in your hair
Take the train from Casablanca going south Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth Colored cottons hang in the air Charming cobras in the square Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the [song title] Wouldn't you know we're riding on the [song title] They're taking me to [title]
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the [song title] Wouldn't you know we're riding on the [song title] They're taking me to [title] All on board the train, all on board the train All on board
Sorry, but technically, that's not the title. And sorry, but technically, that's not the group George. I'll take one out of the two correctly to win the round.
"Don't you know we're riding, on theMarrakech Express? Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express? They're taking me to Marrakech. All aboard, that train! All aboard, that train!" (My guess on the band would have been CSN/Y.)
You got it right WordWolf. Marrakesh Express was released in May of 1969 and was the first album by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. The song was written by Graham Nash while he was in The Hollies, but they (Hollies) felt the song was not commercial enough, so they passed on it. Neil Young had not gotten together with CSN until the second night of Woodstock and didn't play in their first set which was acoustical on the first night. The following day (night, 3:00am) Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young played an electric set.
"Well, I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic,
That is really what I think.
Oh, and by the way, which one's 'Pink'?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.
We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green,
Have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start,
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train."
It's a classic rock song, from a well-known classic rock band, and it still get airplay to this day.
I saw this two days ago but I didn't have time to post. I did think enough however, to throw Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in the car on my out to see my tax man. The songs' Have A Cigar. Personally, its my favorite PF album. The sounds from the instrumentals give me chills every time I hear them.

It is indeed "HAVE A CIGAR,", from PINK FLOYD. I really like the little clue that the promoter or whoever has never heard of them before and doesn't know where the name "Pink Floyd" comes from, but is enthusiastic to say he's a long-time fan while trying to get them to generate more cash.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

Let's try another one instead.
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you

"Train to Marrakech" by some subset of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young?

Now I have to sit down and listen to the whole song. The lyrics are a lot more interesting than the chorus.

Next song.
"Everybody else is just green,
Have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start,
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team."

It is indeed "HAVE A CIGAR,", from PINK FLOYD. I really like the little clue that the promoter or whoever has never heard of them before and doesn't know where the name "Pink Floyd" comes from, but is enthusiastic to say he's a long-time fan while trying to get them to generate more cash.

I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
