Nice one, RichPopsicle Toes -

I have to say I've never heard of this song or artist before. That surprises me. But in 1976 I was not listening to much other than Pink Floyd, Wings, Aerosmith and the Eagles. Thank you, Mark.

I had to pull it up in Youtube. Can't say I've ever heard the song or the group. Makes sense, since I'm over 40!

I worked out the pics but couldn't put it with a known song as I too had never heard of it or the group. Searching YouTube for the titles I came up with got me there.I had to pull it up in Youtube. Can't say I've ever heard the song or the group. Makes sense, since I'm over 40!
Afterwards, I found the list of 97 songs that made Diamond in the US : https://www.insider.com/every-diamond-certified-song-ever-riaa
I have to say, though I've heard of many of the artists, I was only familiar with 7 of the 97 songs :

It's interesting that, other than Elton's Candle In The Wind, the remaining 96 Diamonds were awarded between 2013 and 2022 - the age of streaming and social media. This would seem to make Elton's achievement quite impressive in itself, IMO.

Elton got a big boost when Princess Di was killed. Can you imagine if streaming has been invented back in '97?

Bingo! Told ya it was an easy one.
I mainly posted that for the purposes of learning how to post multiple pics borrowed from the web into a single post from my phone.
Previously I was having a rough time with that.
But I got it figured out now.
