April 29, 1972:

A Detroit, Michigan band called Gallery enters the Billboard Hot 100 with "Nice To Be With You", which will rise to #4 during its 13 week run…

 They will follow with two more Top 20 hits,

 "I Believe In Music" (#22) and

"Big City Miss Ruth Ann" (#23) over the next eight months….  

Gee, wonder why they didn’t become a big time Motorcity act!?!

Maybe ‘cause it sounds NOTHING like Motorcity Rock ‘n Roll!!!
