Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Lighthouse is a Canadian band that formed in 1968 with a whole different approach to Rock and Roll.  Their original lineup had 13 members including a 4-person violin and cello section and a 4-person horn section. Eventually, they trimmed down to ten members and dropped the violins.  They scored a monster hit in 1971 with "One Fine Morning", which was big internationally as well as #1 in Canada. The band still tours today, they're huge stars in their home country and have had several gold records.
