A Pompatus Day
Steve Miller turns 69 today. In the late 60s, he and his band were a respected blues-rock outfit with more than a touch of psychedelia. Then in the early 70s they turned more poppy and took off commercially.
The song that broke them went to #1 in 1973:
In the mid-70s Miller had a series of hits.
He never was as popular in the 80s, except for one song that turned out to be his biggest hit of all:

Thanks for the belly laugh, Steve!
I've read that the band (or maybe just Miller) hated touring and was uncomfortable with live performances. They may have been one of those groups that became popular without really wanting to. I think they are one of the top5 bands of the 70s.
Bonnie: I assume the laugh came from the title and not Miller's performances.
