Friend and Lover was an American folk-singing duo comprised of husband and wife, Jim and Cathy Post. They are best known for their 1968 hit single "Reach out of the Darkness," which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became a symbol of the late 1960s counterculture movement. Their musical style blended elements of folk, pop, and psychedelic rock, with lyrics often focusing on themes of love and social unity. Despite their brief tenure in the music industry, Friend and Lover contributed a significant anthem to the peace-and-love ethos of their era.
