Gallery 1972Do you remember the music group Gallery?

I can remember the song “Nice to Be with You” written by the band’s Jim Gold (see Jim Gold & Gallery), but did not remember the soft rock band or anything else they performed?

Nevertheless, while hearing it on SiriusXM it triggered my including it for Music Monday.
