This is the first of four songs on my countdown by the r&b group from Philadelphia The Stylistics led by the incredible voice of Russell Thomphins, Jr. The band had a string of hits in the early 1970s but when producer Thom Bell left the group the group faded. Today the group has splintered into two separate groups and both tour.
The Illonois-based Ides of March are not one hit wonders but Vehicle was their only hit to make the top 40, peaking at #2 in 1970. Vocalist/gitarist Jim Peterich went on to co-found the band Survivor(Eye of the Tiger). The band remnis on tour today.
Get Down by War is the third on nine songs on my countdown by War. The song was never rteleased as a single but their is a live version on one of my old 8 tracks that I love. Four original member of War now play in the Low Rider Band which doesn't seem to do too many gigs while original member Lonnie Jordan remains with War.
You Showed Me is the second of five songs on my list from The Turtles who had a great string of hits in the mid-to-late 1960s. For most of the time since the two singers(Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman) have toured as Flo & Eddie and the Turtles. This summer Flo & Eddie and the Turtles are touring on the Happy Together tour with the Buckinghams, the Grass Roots, Mark Lindsay(lead singer of aul Revre and the Raiders) and the Association. That is a can't miss event!
