"Not Too Long Ago" By the Uniques-- Part 1
One of the really great songs from the 1960s, unfortunately, one that most people do not know. Give it a listen on You Tube. I'd heard it before as a Beach music song.
I noticed it on the March 5, 1965, WLS Silver Dollar Survey where it was at #35. It was right behind #31 "Go Now" by the Moody Blues, #32 "Orange Blossom Special" by Johnny Cash, #33. "Hurt So Bad" by Little Anthony & the Imperials and #34 "Stranger in Town" by Del Shannon.
I didn't recognize it from the title until I listened to it. Hey, that's a beach song!! It is also as good of a 1960s pop song as you're going to get.
From You Tube: Southern pop quintet that featured later country singer Joe Stampley doing the singing. Record produce by Dale Hawkins and recorded and the Paula label. It reached #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 20, 1965.
Hey, I'm a huge Moe and Joe fan. I didn't know that.
