Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Today it's a song that ranks high among my favorites... Jo Jo Gunne is a rock band that was formed in L.A. in 1971 by Jay Ferguson and Mark Andes after they left the band Spirit. The band had a one-hit wonder in 1972 with "Run Run Run", breaking into the top 40 and staying there for 11 weeks.
The band was probably notable for it's members' presence in other bands... Jay Ferguson had a solid solo career with hits like "Thgunder Island" and "Shakedown Cruise", Andes joined Firefall and later Heart and scored many hits with both bands, and drummer William Smith was successful with Boston.
The original lineup re-formed in 2005 and still tours today!
