Comments: One of the most popular group names ever, picked by at least a half dozen different outfits in search for musical stardom. This is the Detroit group. The music on this 45 is almost impossible to pigeon hole - early soul, pop-R&B, garage-soul, popcorn - you name it. A-side has a falsetto lead that makes me think of 4 Seasons while the B-side sounds like mid-west surf music. Anyway you describe it - great stuff!    

 

♫If you are unfamiliar with either side, you can find clips of both on YOU TUBE.♫
