KKD, one look at their big hair and we know you are too young. I know them because my (six year older) sister listened to them. Because they were white, that Rock crap was tolerated. Mom has grown a lot since those days. If I wanted to hear "that nigger shit," I had to use the old stand up 8 band radio out in the garage. No problem, I ran a antenna wire from the loft to a birch tree, and that was my club house. Give me a low sax, a Wurlitzer and a gravel voice, and I was in Heaven.
Memories. Where would we be without them. Great old tune. Thank's Huck.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember seeing them on Hullabaloo or was it Shindig?
ReplyDeleteThanks Huck
Hullabaloo and Shindig! gosh we are old. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't recall ever hearing this one before. Maybe I'm not that old after all? ;>
ReplyDeleteI have a version of this song done by Aerosmith... Not a great tune.
ReplyDeleteMary, You had TV back In the day?
