Gallery may refer to:
Gallery was a 1970s American soft rock band, formed in Detroit, Michigan, United States, by Jim Gold. While Gallery did record a number of songs, they are most famous for their early- to mid-1972 hit single, " Nice to Be With You", written by Gold. The song was arranged and produced by Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore and released by Sussex Records. It became an international hit single, reaching the top five in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Sales of one million copies of that single earned the band a gold record. The song reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and remained in the Hot 100 for 22 weeks, tying with War's "Slippin' Into Darkness" for most weeks on that chart during the calendar year 1972. Billboard ranked it as the No. 14 song for 1972. On the Cash Box Top 100, "Nice to Be With You" reached number one.
Gallery followed up in late 1972 with a cover of Mac Davis' " I Believe in Music," which charted moderately well at number 22 on Billboard and number 13 on Cash Box. They also toured across the South Pacific.
In early 1973, Gallery's third and last Hot 100 hit, Tom Lazaros' "Big City Miss Ruth Ann," reached #23 on the Hot 100 and #7 on WCFL. A year later, "Love Every Little Thing About You" did not chart, and Gallery disbanded.

Gallery is a men's magazine begun by Montcalm Publishing in 1972. It is one of the more popular "skin" magazines that arose on the Playboy magazine pattern in the 1970s. Montcalm also published The Twilight Zone Magazine in the 1980s, apparently in imitation of Penthouse magazine's offshoot Omni.
Gallery has long featured a "Girl Next Door" contest in which photographers submit pictures of amateur models (similar to Hustler's " Beaver Hunt.") From each group of monthly entries, one model winner is selected. At the end of the year, one is crowned "Girl Next Door of the Year" and awarded a cash prize of $25,000. The most famous winner is retired porn star Stacy Valentine; at the time of her selection she was Oklahoma housewife Stacy Baker.
Montcalm Publishing went bankrupt (March 2008), leaving many photographers and models empty handed; some were owed as much as $100,000. Andi Land (Andi Pink) twice won Gallery's Girl Next Door of the Month.
