Re: Charles McCormick (Bloodstone) died
I liked Bloodstone's song Natural High, but it was only a minor hit in Toronto (reaching #21 on CHUM) and I never heard anything else by them or knew anything about the group. So I found the following obituary to be of interest in providing info about his and the group's accomplishments.

13 entries in the R&B chart. I thought the group was quite well known in America.
That's why I wrote that post. But I only get my opinion based on Joel Whitburn's books.

Re: Charles McCormick (Bloodstone) died
My comment about Bloodstone related to how they did on the charts here in Toronto, Canada. Beginning in 1971, radio stations in Canada were required to play 30% Canadian content, which of necessity meant substantially less airplay for many artists from elsewhere. You can see the difference between how they did on our charts vs. the U.S. at
