"MAYBE"-- CHANTELS
"Maybe," the song covered by Janis Joplin in the earlier posting, was first recorded by the Chantels, considered to be the second all-girl black group to have success in the US (not sure who was the first). In 1958, this song hit #15 pop and #2 R&B. It is described as "arguably the first glimmering of the girl group sound."
Rolling Stone ranks it #195 on their list of 50 Greatest Songs of All Time.
From Wikipedia
"YOU, I" RUGBYS
Called Classic Top 40 Psychedelic Pop with that wah-wah pedal. I also call it Garage Rock and sure Little Steven would agree. The group was from the Louisville, Kentucky area and the song was on the Amazon record label, which was a bit sexy with the woman's attire.
"You, I" hit #1 on Louisville local charts and #24 on Billboard.
Not in Wikipedia. I found this information on the Garage Hangover web site. If you like garage bands, this has to be checked out. www.garagehangover.com.
One person wrote in to say the band played their prom in Harrisburg, Illinois, in 1970, and they made the event great.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
