Can you name this 70'S ROCK BAND!!!?

They had 2 hit songs before 1982,

It's called "The blank blank band"

The "blanks" are a man's name...
It's NOT:

10 points for best answer!!!

Is it Marshall Tucker?

Clarence Clearwater

Climax Blues
Little River

Sorry, not enough info to go on.

Point Blank.

Michael Stanley Band

Dunno

J Geils
not sure on spelling

All I can think of with 2 hits would be either

And by the way I don't mean to be rude, but it's
Creedence Clearwater and that is not a person.

The Earl Slick Band

Albums:
The Earl Slick Band

Ohhh..nvm..two hit songs before 82 eh?

The Greg Khin Band

Hit songs: Jeopardy and The Break Up Song

This question covers any lead singer who did a solo album with a bunch of session musicians or minor musicians, and knew the only way to get people to show up was to use his name on the marquee.

The Steve Gibbons band?
