Do you remember the names of the other group members? What high school did your mother attend? It's great that someone found this great recording. There were so many talented people singing and producing music back then, that there was no room in the radio DJ's rotations for all of it. Glad people are finding the unknown gems and we get a chance to hear "new" 1960s music.
This song copy is cleaner than the one with the colorful disc label. I can withstand the sudden ending of this song. Anyway, I would love for this song to be extended for longer listening. Its rhythm and harmony are superior, in spite of the fact that it was not recorded on a high-quality sound reproduction system. That technology was unadvanced during that time. If so, Black recording engineers and producers could not afford to pay the higher costs, nor it would have been made available to us without one single risk.
@@9L252AL It sounds more like 1964 Chicago than 1963, but the flip "Bashful" sounds like it couldn't have been recorded before 1965. So, my guess is 1965. Also, I never heard this on the Chicago Soul stations; and after many, many years of scrounging for records in Chicagoland, looking through probably over a million 45s between 1953 and 1972 I never remember seeing that Sheldon Recording Studio had a commercial record label. I think that the group's producer had this recorded at Sheldon as a demo and received a couple of acetates to shop it around to the record companies, and the demo that had been kept at the studio (to use for any record pressing orders) was found years later, and someone pressed up some records for the Northern Soul, or Belgian Shag dancing, or US Beach scene. The abrupt ending was probably because it got chopped off when making the acetates. The master tape probably had the fully-recorded ending. But, the producer would have had the master tape. So, it probably has been lost.
@robbk1 WOW! Thanks for your reply! I'm just a 69 yr old guy just guessing. Thanks so much for providing this information that I never knew. I'll pop another beer now and read this about 5 more times. Thanks again for your knowledge of this music that you chose to share. Have a good evening.
This is a sweet-loving song. It is such sweetie-sweet, sweet music, and I would not want to exchange this for the new stuff. I hope this song will last a lifetime.
This song was wonderfully mastered. The bass guitar, Gloria Lewis's voice, the background singers, and handclaps adds harmony, rhythm, and cadence, all added into one make this song perfectly superb.
If I had one thing to criticize about this song is that it is too short, and it ends too quick. I wish this song could be extended for longer listening.
What a super-great mid '60s Chicago recording. I remember The Softiques in the late '60s and beginning of the '70s. But I never heard anything by them this early (probably 1964 or '65 -most likely '65, based on the sound of "Bashful".
@@dusty7s It's just a demo recording with just base and I seem to hear a weak guitar in the background. Not even sure if there are drums. It's a shame this demo didn't lead to McCormack and General Johnson getting a deal for a real record company like VJ, Chess, Mercury, Oneder-Ful, Okeh, or Johnny Pate's Chicago ABC office, picking it up, and giving it massive distribution and national airplay. It could have been a hit with a full instrumental background and a clean mix.

@@yolandazarks393 wonderful
With Gloria Lewis as lead.
A Black Soul record from the 60s played by Ion in the 90s. RUclips is annoying 🙄
Also, this sweet-loving song is being played in 2023, even by me. RUclips is available, not annoying!

Idiot.
