Continued from Sept. 14.
Their song "Little Miss Sad" had some success in other regions, but did best here in Chicago where it peaked at #3 on the WLS Survey.on August 27, 1965. They were just behind the Beatles at #2 with "Help!" and Sonny and Cher at #1 with "I Got You Babe." Pretty good company.
The song went to #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Most of the few recordings the band made were covers.. They did record an album and released a few singles through to 1968.
They were originally named the Five Empressions, but changed their name to Five Emprees after the soul group Impressions got an injunction against them.
Their big hit's "B" side was "Hey Lover" which was originally done by Debbie Dovale (cowritten by Don Covay). I liked the Five Emprees' version better than Debbie Dovale's.
