THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE
"THAT'S GROOVY"
HEAR HERE!!
The Classic Example - That's Groovy - YouTube
A. THIS MALE/FEMALE DUO DESERVE TO BE BETTER KNOWN, IF THEIR ONE-AND-ONLY SINGLE IS ANYTHING TO GO BY; THE TOP-SIDE HERE IS A DELICATE CROSSOVER VERSION OF "THAT'S GROOVY" (DONE EARLIER BY KIM WESTON); I LIKE BOTH HANDLINGS, AND THE CONNECTION IS WILLIAM "MICKEY" STEVENSON, WHO PRODUCED BOTH OF THEM (AS WELL AS BEING MARRIED TO KIM AT THE TIME)
b/w
"HEY THERE LITTLE GIRL"
HEAR HERE!!
The Classic Example - Hey There Little Girl - YouTube
B. AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE TOP-SIDE IS, MY PERSONAL CHOICE HAS TO GO TO THE WONDERFUL SLAB OF SOULFULNESS ON THE FLIP (WHICH WANDERS CLOSELY TO THE MELODY OF "TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME" AT THE INTRO); IT HAS BEEN SPECULATED THAT THE WRITER OF THIS SIDE (CURTIS COLBERT) WAS ONE HALF OF THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE, WITH THE OTHER MEMBER BEING HARRIETT HURST - BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT WE DON'T KNOW; EVEN THOUGH THE UNKNOWN PAIR RELEASED A WHOLE GSF ALBUM (IMAGINATIVELY TITLED "THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE"), NOTHING FURTHER IS REVEALED; THERE'S EVEN A PICTURE OF THE DUO ON THE COVER, BUT NO ONE THOUGHT TO DIVULGE THEIR NAMES; THERE ARE SOME PRETTY HEFTY STUDIO MUSICIANS PLAYING ON THE SET, INCLUDING ARTHUR ADAMS, PAUL HUMPHREY, WILTON FELDER AND JOE SAMPLE (THE LATTER TWO BOTH OF THE CRUSADERS), WHILE ALL THE BACKING VOCALS ARE DELIVERED BY THE FIRM OF (PAT) HODGES, (DENITA) JAMES, (JESSICA) SMITH & (CAROLYN) CRAWFORD
