1971

Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley were Midwesterners who met while working as songwriters in L.A. and soon began writing together. When a major label released an unauthorized album of their demos,the team was signed as a performing act. Written one night backstage,One Toke was the only one of Brewer and Shipley's three hits to do well on the charts. The duo insisted that it was a song about excess in general rather than a specific reference to marijuana.

The recently passed Canadian Content Laws gave two north -of-the- border acts access to U.S. charts.Under these laws,Canadian radio stations,whose playlists were usually carbon copies of their American counterparts, were now required ot devote a certain percentage of their programming to records made by Canadian artists or producers,or recorded in Canada.Once established as Canadian hits,such recordings had a better chance of reaching American ears,particularly near the border. 1971

Ocean was a Canadian hippie band that tried but failed to write its own material before turning to Put Your Hand in the Hand. The song's writer, Canadian pop-folkie Gene Maclellan,had provided Anne Murray with the million-selling Snowbird in 1970.Ocean's Canaada-to-America crossover sucess was duplicated by the group Stampeders,which had been launched in Calgary in 1963 as a sextet before paring down (in 1965) to the trio that later cut Sweet City Woman.
