Went to Forest Hills High School with Leslie, Larry, Roger, Peter, and Jerry. We'd all hang out together at the Cue Club in Rego Park. Their song I Love, Love You should have been a smash. Those were the best days of my life!
I saw them at the Oak Beach in on Long Island in 1967 and I believe the show was opened by a local band called the Hassles who had a fair to middling organ player/ vocalist name William Joseph Martin Joel.
The Vagrants got screwed by Ahmet Artugen who had them on ATCO label and Aretha F. on Atlantic label, both recorded this song at the same time, and he chose to release Aretha's version - which was, in all fairness a monster hit - and released the Vagrants version as the B-side of their 45 and the A-side song (which should have been the B-Side) was pretty poor - thus, the end of The Vagrants - a shame! Saw them many tmes and they could ROCK - a great live band and should have made it, but nope!

This is a good song, I've got it on a Psychadelia album from the 1960s, but this seems a bit more Garage Rock 'n' Roll than Psychadelia.

Ummm....the original was written, recorded and released by Otis Redding. No way Aretha Franklin would have touched it otherwise.

You're right. Otis Redding did do it first, But this version also predates Aretha Franklin's
