I agree about how this song should have been released as a single. With some better marketing and product placement this band should have been a mega group in popularity.
Written by Nick Zesses & Dino Fekaris, who were also famed for working with other Motown stars like Diana Ross, Stoney & Meatloaf, The Originals, Gladys Knight & The Pips, et al.
The Hit-Single-That-Shoulda-Been-But-Never-Was from the 1972 "Willie Remembers" LP.
I think this shoulda been a single in lieu of "Good Time Sally".
The band still get requests to do it live..
Thanx fer this, m8..
Early nineteen seventies THE HIPPIES BAND formerly THE JANUARY FIVE played regularly at The palm grove Hotel BambooGarden Nite club located on the back lawn of the hotel. They did Jimi Hendrix The beatles Santana Rare Earth at studio sound quality every time And the wind blows all that live sounds onto our homesteads near the club about a block back. As kids then all we could do is enjoy!
