A short break is good at times....and thanks for continuing to read while I was on a holiday....
Blues Image was a band out of Florida in the late 60's. They got their start in Tampa in 1966, then moved to Miami in 68 where their success took them to LA and a recording contract in 1969. The 1970 album, "Open" contained the big hit, "Ride Captain Ride" which reached #4 in the spring of that year. The group recorded one more album in 1970 before breaking up. Singer-guitarist Mike Pinera went to Iron Butterfly and later to Alice Cooper, keyboardist "Skip" Konte to Three Dog Night, singer-percussionist Joe Lala to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Before they finished as a band Pinera left and was replaced by Denny Correll who became a very popular singer in the Contemporary Christian Music genre in the late 70's.
