RCA 47-9583, 1968
Eddie Grant's '60s outfit, with their one hit - but it's a monster. Even I remember hearing this on WLS when I was a kid.
It was a fairly unlikely US hit for a UK beat band. Back in '68, this sound was both retro and ahead of it's time - though it apparently was a huge hit overseas. Not too surprising. Listening to it now, I'm hearing more than a little Elvis Costello (see Get Happy), maybe some King Khan & BBQ as well.
Turn it up - this is a party record.
