Roger Nicholls & the Small Circle of Friends
Paul Williams - Someday Man
The Parade
some like (I don't much) - The Neon Philharmonic
David Bash would be a good source, and I'm guessing Stewart Mason has a few
good ideas to proffer.

Subject: Re: 60s soft pop
i was thinking it'd be cool to read a handful of your lists of bands with
descriptions and their best compilations/albums to serve as a guide to some
upcoming purchases.
I am also one of the transformed(by this list) soft-poppers.
Some things I really enjoyed:
Sagittarius - Present Tense: Fantastic psychedelic syrup in the vein of
Mommas and the Papas. Very trippy lyrics; sort of new age-cum-Lord of the
Rings. HA! One of the sweetest voices in pop history heard here, belonging
to Curt Boetcher(sp?).
Tokens - Intercourse: Hailed here a number of times, this probably rocks
more than anything they ever recorded, but has some real sweet spots, as
well. However, the disc clocks in around 28 minutes or so.
Anything by the Association.
Ballroom/Millennium - Again Curt Boetcher's production and arranging skills,
as well as his voice, are the centerpiece of these two bands. I think
there's a compilation of both albums(one never released) and some
Sagittarius demos.(which IMHO sound even better than the album versions.)
There's so much more...Mr. Bash?
hope this helps..
later, joe
