The Artistics - I'm gonna miss you

[truth1disciple]

The days of being in our club house in my grandmother's huge Victorian house listening to music with the girls slow dancing (rolling on the girls as we dance) kissing, drinking sodas, aww the good ole days. Reflecting on positive times of past when kids were kids, no deadbolt locks on doors, hide-and-go-seek, football played in the streets, people in the community were "together" as united people, the playground had after school games and activities, people didn't have to worry about their kids

[dustee]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I couldn't remember who these guys were that sung this song. The tenor sounded like Eddie Kendricks of the temptation and that's who I've been looking for this song under.

Again thank you for sharing!

[TheLovemygod]

@dustee Mr Dustee I am a retired singer from the Motown era. I know the original Temptations and was always around them and at rhe recordings would that be a fair statement. Eddie was fabulous we were good friends it was a lost when he left this earth. However I must agree the lead on this song sound a little like eddie. You have a great Ear for good music . Take care and God Bless. I am working on a cd a tribute to Michael Jackson I'm the writer and arranger for the music

[JFABULOUS007]

Yes, Yes this is a really nice song!!!!

[jamesnemer]

I had this record by the Artistics by on a different label..............and I loved it.

[web45]

The epitome of 60's soul. Great label and group. It's a shame they haven't re-grouped to play the current circuit of oldies shows!

[nanlisa]

I was only in fourth grade when this song first came out. I remember hearing this on WFIL Radio right here in Philadelphia. Now this was music. Today's music is nothing but junk, junk, and more junk!

[jonnyman46]

[DJMixmasterDee]

This is REAL music, Feel me?????

[lindadavis8]

[revansrobb2]

great classic post,thanks! do you happen to have a very rare 45 by the artistics entitled "you make me happy" it came out right after "i'm gonna miss you, but never made it to an album, i had it but lost it.

[coporal4]

When I stepped into High School Sept 1966 we had a talent show 2 weeks later and one of the groups sang this song to perfection and I never forgot it. I have the 45 along with some others and a garrard turn table and pioneer amp with sansui floor speakers and boy don't it sound like back in the day.

[klm123456789999]

i love this song since i was very young sound a lil like eddie kendrics

[TheMerriell]

[geofflovett]

Got This,it was always played last at discos in the North of England in the 60's.Long before the kids called it Northern soul

[cdjblue52]

This was my favorite song in 8th grade.

[voodoowop45s]

[gina72916]

This song reminds me of my puppy love experience when I was a little girl growing up in NYC. What wonderful lyrics to have at such a time.

[robertrubyc]

This song was huge in the US, through Brunswick Records....Marvin Smith is a friend of mine....I took him to the U.K. with me...It hit the RnB charts, billboard, cashbox and record world....Thanks Ruby Andrews

[PThomann]

Interesting how they got pressed in the UK but not locally.

Love to hear the story behind that.

[luvhurtsxoxo]

Great tune. The piano arrangement is excellent. Bopping tune.

[Keijz74]
