Can we give some love to the unsung/underrated MEN of the 60s/70s?

Hadn't heard of Billy Nichols! Speaking of Garland J again, I was vaguely thinking this morning bout how he hung out with Reed and Cale way back, and have read that early VU sometimes covered his "Josephine", with Cale singing it---which cued up this GJ-written track in my headbox (if can't see it: "Fairweather Friend", as performed by Mr. JC on Vintage Violence)

Wild in the Streets is my pride and joy. I consider it my "first" Rock 'n' Roll record, written and released in 1973, and recorded with Dr. John and his band, with Alan Freedman, Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, David Spinozza, David Peel, Produced by Roy Cicala..............
