The track itself was written by Mike D'abo, around 1974, I think he had a famous sister, everybody wanted to bang!

Any relation to Olivia who played the sister in Wonder Years? Karen I think. Her boyfriend in it was the motorcyclist beatnik who went on to be Toss or Ross in Friends

Could be Ace! I just remember he had a sister who was a model or something, he worked with Albert Lee, and even Garcia, but was best know for song writing for other people........
