Soul singer Dean Parrish (real name Philip Anastasi) had a crazy career. He played guitar sessions for Herbie Mann, Santana & Hendrix in the early 70's.
Unknown to him that he was a star in the UK. Someone found him & he played to 1000's at the 2001 #NorthernSoul Weekend festival.

And I was so disappointed that you didn't light your love lamp.

I got no lava lost for that song, kind bro.

You don't like the 1960's Dead, but I do.

I AM a full-blown Touchhead, it's true.

I had no older bro or sis to turn me on to Jerry n' Bobby...and Tampa AOR (NTM Top 40, of course) wasn't playing the Dead. (Same goes for my exposure to FZ.)

It wasn't until 95YNF (the rock station at the time) started playing "Touch Of Grey" (ah memories, the summer of '87 and I'd just graduated H.S.) that I went "Oh, I think I get it..." 🤓 🙄 🤓

I had a deadhead friend who cursed "Touch of Grey" because he felt the Dead were a privileged secret and it made them commercial.

Did you mention Shakedown Street? Dead does Disco? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QgEAVch57sc&list=OLAK5uy_mP4ZZpKRydf7jI8KeumBdlUs9_Aiwr8ds&index=3&pp=8AUB

For me that was one of the worst tunes they ever did. I never liked "Hell in a Bucket" either although I generally like Weir's stuff.
