The single by “Milk and Honey” from their 1979 album “Milk & Honey With Gali” reached the top of the charts at No. 1 in Finland, Ireland, Israel, Norway, and Sweden. Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme also released the song in the same year. In this rendition, pianist Charles Manning improvises the hit song “Hallelujah.”
