SAC had 5 albums, not including a "Best of..." If I can remember correctly,
they *did* have a second hit song, "Barefoot in Baltimore" (I even remember
a "video" of that being shown on LAUGH IN. I don't think they had any other
hits, though.

Though "Incense and Peppermints" was a great pyschedelic 60's song, I don't
consider it the *definitive* one. In my humble opinion, the definitive one
was "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was In)" by The
First Edition. Oh! wasn't that a time when Kenny Rogers sang rock'n'roll
instead of this pop country nonsense?

"I put my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
 I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
 I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
 I tore my mind on a jagged sky
 I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in"
