J Roddy Walston and the Business: Caroline

J Roddy Walston and the Business is a Tennessee-based rock-and-roll band that specialize in melodic catchy tunes, driven by a strong (pounding) piano and a bit of Southern accompaniment (guitar and tambourine). The lyrics are infectious, and your toe can't help but tap.

Three Dog Night: Never Been To Spain

Another one of my mother's favorites, Three Dog Night is a classic of Southern  Rock, and have been in existence since 1968, to the present time (which is fairly impressive). Based in Los Angeles, they're best known for their years of 1968 to 1975, topping the Billboard lists with 21 top hits.
