Friend & Lover was an American folk-singing duo composed of husband-and-wife team Jim and Cathy Post.
She had a background in song and dance before meeting her future husband Jim Post at a Canadian provincial fair in 1964.
Cathy remarried twice, became Cat Conn, had three children and five grandchildren, and lived for a short time in the mountains of New Mexico.
[5] Jim, inspired by a New York City love-in, wrote the duo's only significant hit single, "Reach Out of the Darkness".
[8] The song made the U.S. Top 10 chart in June 1968 and was adopted as a kind of anthem by the protest movement against American politics of the time.
