  • Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenAs often as I heard this on the radio in the early ‘70s, I’m surprised it didn’t chart higher. Much later, I knew someone whose daughter was named “Aimee,” an intentional variation on the unusual spelling.
  • Brian E. Vought from Elkhart InThis song fits Alot of people in young love. all over the world.

  • Tom Sheridan from New York Amie becoming a hit was no accident. To say it was never much of hit is quite wrong. It still receives generous airplay. WNEW in NY the largest classic rock station in the country , according to them , has a vote every November for the top 1004 songs of all time. Amie has appeared on this list numerous times and in 2019 was listed at 338, a remarkable statement regarding PPL's and Amie's popularity. It became popular because PPL continued on without a contract after Craig left in Feb 73. They played colleges all over the country and fans were requesting PPL songs on radio stations everywhere. Amie was one of them. And fans knew exactly who PPL was as they played about 250 shows a year. It should also be noted that PPL's first LP came out before The Eagles did and PPL had been playing for awhile with Fuller before getting the contract. PPL was also playing new tunes which went over well . RCA was forced to re-sign them as they had a hit and popular band on their hands with no contract. They were signed in late 1974 and entered the studio in December work on a new LP. By the time spring 75 rolled around , Amie was a hit, as was their third LP Two Lane Highway which became their highest charting LP. They were far from a mellow band and the concerts were very upbeat with Larry Goshorn and the legendary pedal steel man John David Call ( The Pontiff of Pedal Steel ) playing twin leads with blazing hot results. PPL went on to secure 6 top 40 LP's , 5 of them consecutive which was tops in country rock. PPL continued until late 1988 , came back again in the 90's and by 2004 were at it again, releasing ALL IN GOOD TIME in late 2005 with a strong songwriting/singing performance from Fuller. Unlike many other 70 acts PPL's new release received high critical acclaim from Goldmine Magazine, Music Row and many other prominent publications . Today PPL still tours with Mike Reilly, John David Call , Donnie Lee Clark ( a 15 year member ) Scott Thompson and Randy Harper, Fuller will play on occasion with them as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. The band is considered highly influential .
  • Bob R from Kula HawaiiThe band was a little too mellow for me but their album covers were classic. Who was that artest?
