Jack Sundrud is the bassist, joining for the first time in 1985 . Poco has released 20 albums and Rusty Young wrote and sang their first # 1 hit in 1979 called " Crazy Love " and in the same year, they had a top 20 hit with " In The Heat of the Night," which was written by guitarist Paul Cotton. Their first album - " Picking Up The Pieces " - is heralded as having been an indispensable element in the creation of the country - rock genre of music and the " Legend " album went multi - platinum in 1979.
