MICHAEL STANLEY 1969 Smooth As Raw SILK

The band was actually on the verge of breaking up when they were offered a gig that got them signed to ABC Records and 2 weeks on Billboard Top LP's & Tapes.  
Bill Szymczyk was sent from New York to Cleveland to find talent. He found two groups, the James Gang ( Joe Walsh) and Silk ( Michael Gee). He was impressed enough from their live gig to offer a record contract, and the result was "Smooth As Raw""Not A Whole Lot I Can Do", "Walk In My Mind" and "Come On Down Girl", you get a glimpse of what was to come. This is the first part in the musical legacy of Michael Stanley!
