Being ranked at #3 with their "Little Miss Sad" to the Beatles at #2 with "Help" had to be really something to the lads from Michigan, especially in those days of Beatlemania.
Their song had originally been released by the Addrisi Brothers. The song was also done by the Savages in the Tampa-St. Pete, Florida, area in the mid-1960s.
As I said yesterday, I had some problems finding information about them because of the fact they went by several names.
From Rock and Roll Legends site.
The Five Emprees were from Benton Harbor, Michigan, (in the southwest corner of the state) and hit the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1965 despite having to overcome a small record label, limited distribution and promotion. They had to change their name because of an injunction from a famous Hall of Fame group. This is when they called themselves the Five Impressions.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
