Released on May 18, 1968, “Reach Out of the Darkness” by Friend & Lover was perfect for the summer between the previous year’s Summer of Love and Woodstock the following year.
Written by Jim Post and performed with his then-wife Cathy, it became a #10 Billboard hit. Post has died, and I think it’s groovy The New York Times has his obituary.
