I love this era of rock n roll.. You had psychedelic, bubblegum, Motown, folk music, and "garage rock." It wasn't unusual to hear a Frank Sinatra tune mixed in the radio play. That was AM radio in the 1960s. I'm glad I grew up then.
I LOVE you guys, when I was in high school in the early 80's, I discovered the Ohio Express on our oldies station, KNRY am 1240 in Monterey. I have a few of your original albums, and this on a 45:) Thanks for so much FUN music! Take care!
It's funny watching the kids dance... tame stuff compared to nowdays. But this launched the counter-culture that changed this country forever. And I miss the old days. Wow. 50 years makes a difference.
As odd as the hairstyles and clothing might seem to us these days, at least the kids made an effort to groom themselves. Take note, scruffy slackers of the 21st Century! ;-)
In this instance, The Ohio Express were actually The Rare Breed, John Freno on lead vocal. Super K Productions, i.e. Jerry Kasenetz & Jeffrey Katz, remixed The Rare Breed's original single and re-issued it as the first Ohio Express single. Produced by prolific veteran studio hand Sylvester Bradford.
The Ohio Express was terribly underrated by my generation in the 1960s. The band's music is great but at that time there was a heck of a lot of competition. It was a wonderful decade.
