    Driving through the uncongested streets of Eagle River, Alaska this afternoon,
    I tired of NPR and poked around on the radio trying to find some music. On one
    geezer rock station I heard the song that goes:
    "Hush...hush...I thought I heard her callin' my name, now," "Hush...hush...she broke my heart but I love her just the same, now," "Hush...hush...(etc...)"
    The song itself is familiar to the point of near-obnoxiousness, but I couldn't
    place the group who recorded it.
    Were they one hit wonders who never surfaced again, or some respected touring band that had this and other hits besides?
    One thing I noticed was that, while there was a rhythm electric guitar, there wasn't any lead guitar, at least not in the portion of the song I caught. Where you'd expect a guitar solo there was a keyboard player banging away on what sounded like a Hammond B3 electric organ.
    So does anyone have a clue as to who these folks were, and what year the song was released? It seems like I heard it in high school, but I can't place the band to save my life....
    Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

    Deep Purple 's "official video" 1988 ? < who knew ? >

    I wonder if they are making fun of the record companies
    and / or future music video ? < seems too early ? >
