  1. A paltry 7/15 for me this week, as I knew only two albums, by The Police and Al Stewart. I remember that Lou Christie song. A weird video of him lip-syncing the song in a wrecking yard, and wow, he had a hairy chest!

    9/15…guessing upon guessing… I knew that song but didn’t know it was Lou Christie.
