Glass Moon

The American progressive rock group, Glass Moon was formed in the early 1970s by guitarist John Wheliss, with lead vocalist Rodney Barbour on guitar and flute, and Nestor Nunez on bass and vocals.

In spite of being unable to mount a national tour, Growing in the Dark album yielded a Billboard Hot 100 single with a remake of the Hollies' "On a Carousel" which peaked at #50 in April 1982.

Even though the single had only modest chart performance, Dave Adams would later state: "Needless to say, I made a good living off that song for fourteen years", while praising Atlantic Records, who had eventually agreed to distribute the Growing in the Dark album, with "On a Carousel" as its lead single: "The stellar Atlantic promotion team certainly made all the difference in making 'On a Carousel' the hit it became.
