If I had, his generic name wouldn’t have done much to tell me who he was.

And you’re right, 70s bubblegum really sucks ass. I haven’t enjoyed a single 70s bubblegum song ever, anyone going after today’s godawful teen idols while praising all that Osmonds/Partridge/Brady Bunch crap from back in the day can go shove it up their ass. This includes “rock bands” like the Bay City Rollers and 1910 Fruitgum Co., too. I keep expecting this stuff to be sort of fun any time I listen to it and it never is, even “funny bad” like, say, Kylie Minogue singing “The Loco-Motion” in 1987.
