    Sylvia's "Nobody" is a good song. I sure remember it, but I'm a few years older than Susie. Just went to my 35th reunion.

    Heard this today on XM6.

    love + today > yesterday < tomorrow = [song]

    The lead singer of the group who wrote this song died yesterday at age 75. A clue for the group might be a picture from Traer, IA.

    Catchy tune, this "youngster" remembers it playing on my mother's transistor radio in the kitchen. However, the name of the group was not in my trivia cache :/

    And... now I have it stuck in my head... :D

    Today would be my grandmother's birthday. When I was about 10 she got me a transistor radio for my birthday and I used the heck out of it. This may have been on the radio about that time.

    Give us the answer if you have it Susie and then new one.
