Classic Rock/rock song

Question
I caught the end of a song on classic rock radio the other day. Much of the refrain is a chorus of Ahhh Ahhhhh Ahh with some wild guitar play and the song ending on a quieter note, with the words "4 men in a rock and roll band......"
Anyway, a killer song but I need your help.

Thanks,

Mike

Answer
  Are you sure they are not singing "I'm just a singer in a rock n roll band"?   
  That sounds like what it is,   and that is the name of a song by the Moody Blues.   If you find that is the song, and you like that sound, I strongly suggest getting the CD it is on.

 If that is the song and you like it ,  I strongly suggest ANY Moody Blues CD from between 1969 and 1972.  They are :
A Question of Balance
To Our Childrens Childrens Children
Seventh Sojourn
Every Good Boy Deserves Favor
On the Threshold of a Dream
In Search of the Lost Chord.


 I think I'm Just a Singer is on the CD   "Seventh Sojourn"

 That is probably my favorite of the above albums,  but in fact all of them are fantastic,  every song on every CD is wonderful
 Of all the bands I have ever listened to when rock music was happening,   those six CDs are my favorite.   

 If that is not the song please let me know and I will do some research for you.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
