Pozo-Seco Singers - I Can Make It With You (1967)

The Pozo-Seco Singers were an American folk band during the 1960s. Group members Don Williams and Lofton Kline were playing together under the name The Strangers Two when Susan Taylor (aka Taylor Pie) heard them at a Circle K hootenanny held at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi. She asked the two if they'd like to form a trio, which became the Pozo Seco Singers.
They are perhaps best known for the minor hit, "Time," and as the launching pad for Don Williams' music career.
Although they are most remembered for including Don Williams in their lineup prior to his ascension to solo country stardom, the Pozo-Seco Singers were much more oriented toward pop-folk than country music.
The Texas threesome formed in Corpus Christi, TX, where Williams and Lofton Kline had a duo called the Strangers Two; with the addition of Susan Taylor, they became the Pozo-Seco Singers. Playing cleanly executed, coffeehouse-style folk, the trio could sound like a far more commercial, pop-conscious version of Ian & Sylvia with their conscientious blend of male and female lead vocals and harmonies. Not as hip as Ian & Sylvia or Peter, Paul and Mary, and not as blatantly commercial as, say, the Seekers, the group had a few small pop hits in the mid-'60s, "I Can Make It with You" and "Look What You've Done" both entering the Top 40.
After a few albums for Columbia in the last half of the 1960s, the act broke up, leaving Williams to pursue a solo career in the country field.
