Classic Rock/song title

Question
Alright this may be impossible because I don't know any of the lyrics. But I heard this song and my friend thought it was some song by Boston but I looked and I'm almost positive that it isn't. It is, however, classic rock. The beginning of the song is kind of slow and I could make out an organ in the background, and at a few different parts in the song everything else stops and there is a quick little guitar rift. Only the guitar is playing and it sounds like a classic guitar not an electric one. And the singer is a man. I doubt that that is enough information. I would be impressed if you knew the answer. Thank you


Answer
 I have thought about this, and cannot think of any particular song that this describes.  Perhaps if you can give me more info,   like maybe what other instruments are in the song,  perhaps a song that has a similar drum beat, or a song that has a similar guitar style.
 And, if you can tell me the first time you ever heard the song,  so I have an idea of how long ago it was released,  for example if you say "I first heard it in 1977"  I will know it was released before then.  
 Anything that comes to mind, no matter how trivial it may seem ,  might just give me the right clue.

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.
