Bob Stroud played "My Pledge of Love" as being one of the big songs on the radio back July 5, 1969.
I have the single myself. On E-Bay, minimum bids are anywhere from $3 to $10 for it.
The song went to #14 on the Billboard Chart and is classified as pop-soul, although it never charted on the R & B charts. It was on the Wand record label.
Joe Jeffrey was born Joe Stafford, and it is thought that he changed his name to avoid confusion with pop singer Jo Stafford. The band was a fixture on the Cleveland club circuit. After "Pledge," none of their efforts did well and they finally called it quits.
They did cut "My Baby Loves Lovin'," but the British band White Plains got all the credit for their version.
WAND RECORDS

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