Terry Knight & The Pack - I Who Have Nothing - [Hi-Fi]

[COSMICWHIM]

GEEZ!!!...I USED TO LISTEN HIM IN THE 60'S ON CKLW--CANADA-REMEMBER BUYING THE 45--WAS JUST GETTING INTO LYRICS...THINK MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND DUMPED ME---AND I HAD NOTHING--

[MaryJoMuser]

it totally sounds like Knights in White Satin wow never noticed that one

[JiS01]

Hey, Music Mike! How you doing'?? lol.....

[twochaudio]

Mike.,  Who was,,The panic and the pack ???

[michelesaintthomas]

Beautiful!!!

[yrulooknatme]

I was talkin with carl store of the faith band and I still can;t understand why terry cut those guys loose. I heard the story s but still.... why???

[gerbonkeyboards]

Did anyone ever notice the Moody Blues ripped off this song for "Knights in White Satin" ??

[MusicMike2]

@gerbonkeyboards ----- Wow, I never connected the two. You may be right.

[JiS01]

@gerbonkeyboards Yes, it is clearly stated on Wikipedia article about this song. You just have to look it up and everyone knows it, so you're not alone.

[TimothyQStanton]

@gerbonkeyboards First of all, it's Nights In White Satin - no K. Secondly, they didn't rip it off, it's just one of those many moments in Rock history where two songs have similar bits. The *only* similarity this song has to Nights is the Em to D chord progression that occurs in only part of the song. After that, both songs are entirely different.

[gerbonkeyboards]

@TimothyQStanton first of all sorry for the typo....secondly I respectfully disagree, The melody during that Em to D chord change is almost identicle. The orchestral arrangement is strikingly similar in the "feel" it gives to both songs. And at the end of each part of " I Who Have No One"  the lyrics are "I Love You" and "Who Loves You" ........while in "Nights in White Satin" it is "Oh How I Love You".

Bobby Caldwell---- are you out there?????? It's Leslie H  from Fenton MI... Used to see you at the Riviera and other places in Michigan.

[mpampakos]

listen to GZA-publicity

he took this and created a hip hop masterpiece

[beatsbydigga]

@mpampakos You mean the Producer, Mathematics mixed this amazingly, and GZA laid down his always classic vocals to make this a masterpiece.

[Palaverer]

Dang skippy they're Michigan boys! ---or he WAS. R.I.P. Terry <3 I went to high school with a guy who used to jam with Terry Knight and the boys and that's as close as I ever got to them. : ( Thank you for sharing Mike. <3

[actron]

Hello music Mike!! nice channel.

[BabyBoomr]

Very, very nice version and excellent sound! Your channel is great! :o)

[Starrman69]

I haven't heard this in years! I used to have the album. CKLW used to play it a lot back then. I thought that the Pack was a great band.

[Susaleenah]

I first saw Terry and the Pack on the Cleveland tv show 'Upbeat'. Is there any of that footage available?

I have all his records somewhere and about 5 albums of photos. I used to correspond with a bunch of girls who took photos around the Cleveland area. I did finally meet him in Milwaukee and Chicago.

[NORTHSORROW]

one from my fav.

thanks Mike.

[zzwoody1]

Terry Knight had more fluency in Detroit Rock, then he gets credit for. In the beginning, he was Grand Funk. As far as rip off producers go, in Detroit, there was some that made him look good !

[VDOLLA13]

GZA-Publicity was taken from this track

[grasspa]

is there any footage of the Pack singing these great hits?

[Taspin1962]

It's too bad that Terry Knight let greed get the best of him while managing Grand Funk. He ripped them off big time. I don't think I can appreciate his music after learning that..

[1313agents]

Then why are you listening to it??? Hey, the music business has ripped off many an artist. You must not appreciate Motown music either cuz Berry Gordy ripped off those artists, too. To me, Terry Knight's music still stands on its own, no matter what good or bad he did.

[Taspin1962]

I didn't listen to it; it was recommended to me by another listener. 1313, if you watch the Grand Funk story on youtube, you'll see what a scumbag Knight was, just by hearing to him give his explanation. He was sort of the Larry Flynt of the music business. Great thing about America is that opinions (mine included) are---at least, for now---are still freely given, no matter what you 1313 thinks. And it's still your absolute right to whine about them, as unmanly as that may be. Cheers.

[1313agents]

Sounds to me like you're doing all the whining...and personal attacking. The value of your opinion just took a nose dive. You sound like the same character you claim Terry Knight to be. Ha-Ha!

[Taspin1962]

Ouch. The "ha-ha" part is what hurts the most. You really got me with that one.

[damienski]

@Taspin1962

Rock On Taspin.

[boblpage]

I have no idea who this man is but this is great stuff! Grew up in Detroit in the 50's and 60's. Listened to TK on CK all the time, as well as the great Tom Shannon and others -- before I got into the biz myself. Thanks so much for posting this. I still have the original album. Still remember the late TK waving at me as I waved at him on passing BobLo boats in the late 60's!

[pgh45rpms]

TK&tP had quite a following in the Great Lakes area, with a number of outstanding singles. But "I (Who Have Nothing)" was their lone effort to climb into Billboard's Hot 100.

Terry also managed Bloodrock, the Texas band noted for "D.O.A." in 1971.

Unfortunately Terry was fatally stabbed in 2004 during a domestic dispute between his daughter & her boy friend. (The boy friend received a life sentence.)

[monkfistlust]

I met him..he died didnt he

there were a super groupie hungry group the chickds just lined up when they got off the elevator he d point to the lucky girl whos get taken to his room

insane

[stuka52]

Terry Knight also did a pretty good cover of the Yardbirds "Mr. Your a better man than I."

[Catheyelovesmusic]

Hi, Music Mike!! It's been quite a while since I have contacted you! I was wondering if you could help me out with a delimna I have...I''ve been trying to track down an instrumental song from the 60's called "Soul Coaxing" --I can't recall the artist's name. If you can find it and post it I would be very grateful. Thanks!!

Your #1 Fan

Catheye Willis

Soul Coaxing was an orchestral instrumental by Raymond Lefevre, from 1968.
