Gallery was an American soft rock band of the 1970s. It was formed in Detroit, Michigan by Jim Gold.[1] While Gallery did record a number of songs, they are most famous for their 1972 hit single, "Nice to Be with You," written by Gold.[2] The song was arranged and produced by Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore and released by Sussex Records, which earned the band a gold record for sales of one million copies.[2] The song reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[2] Gallery also had a hit in 1972 with a cover of Mac Davis' "I Believe in Music," which charted moderately well at number 22.[1] They also toured across the South Pacific.

In 1973 Gallery's third and last Hot 100 hit, "Big City Miss Ruth Ann," reached #23."[1]
