So did I.  Every now and then, I would catch a different mix of it.  I am
not sure if it was a "remix," or a case of album or extended vs. radio
versions, but it was pretty cool, too.  I goofed on the a/k/a name, though.
They were apparently also known as Planet P Project.  I wondered if there was
not some "relation" to the Alan Parsons Project (like maybe he worked with
them, like he did on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon").  That song
reminded me some of some of APP's stuff.
 
I also figured out the name of the singer.  It was Tony Carey.  He also had
a couple of hits (locally, anyway) with "I Won't Be Home Tonight" and "First
Day of Summer."
