    Reverse image search revealed the answer to me. The artist and album were unknown to me. Maybe someone else knows the answer off the top of their head.

    I grew up mostly in Europe, so I have a different music history sometimes.
    Some hints-British artist -pretty much unknown during his lifetime. Killed himself with an Amitriptyline OD in 1974.

    Just Googled your hints.
    I was not familiar with him, either.

    Well, at least this time when I cheat, I share the penalty box with good company.

    Pink Moon – Nick Drake

    Thinking of a new one. Don't you hate it when you had a really good one, but then when it comes time you can't remember what it was?

    I'll answer @Mustang_Susie 's question with another question.. call it paying (or playing ) it forward:

    Watching an Elvis movie tonight. It's free with Amazon Prime. Looking for a song from the soundtrack. It was the only hit I recognized from it. Maybe someone will happen to know it, otherwise a little research or another clue may be needed.

    Elvis / Girls! Girls! Girls! = [song from soundtrack]

    "Return To Sender"? One of his best. One of my favourite Elvis tracks.

    That is correct! Did you just know that one? The movie wasn't one of his better ones, but I did recognize his love interest. She's on a Star Trek episode.

    Go KCDAMBUSTER. Give us a new one.

    Yep, it wasn't one of his better movies, but I did see it back in the day and many of the songs were nothing special.

    BTW. Hats off to all you R&R Arithmetic stalwarts. I thought you might have run out of songs by now!

    What's that you say?
    "RunTimer, please sneak in a new one", you say?
    well ALLRIGHTEEETHEN :blush:

    How'sabout some Music Road arithmetic:

    Solve for song (presented in License plate format)
    " i1u21(MAINE) "
    Hint: Artist name can be compared to pulling a quarter from behind someone's ear.
