Yeah, "Such a Woman" was a hit single. Nice toon. Group vocal chorus, and I remember nothing about the verses, for whatever that's worth. If they'd have come along six to eight years sooner, they would have fit in well with that Three Dog Night/Bread/America harder pop AM radio thing.
I seem to remember one other decent song on the album, but none of the titles ring any bells. And I didn't know until five minutes ago that they had more than the one album.
>Does anyone know the band Tycoon from the late '70's/early '80's. Evidently
they had a hit single in '79 called "Such a Woman." Anyway, a friend of mine
(Jon Gordon who later played with Suzanne Vega on "Luka" and such) was in
this band and I just ordered a re-issue CD on amazon. Supposedly Clive
Davis soured on the band - they were on Arista - and doomed them to
extinction.<
