My band was playing recently and the a guy came up to me and commented on my mod roundel t shirt as we were putting our banner up. Said he was the lead guitarist...Im presuming having looked them up it was Alan King? Bit early for me as I was born in 71 but nice to look back and think the guitarist actually was nice enough to come and chat.

I had this record on a 45 back in the sixties, with the flip side being 'Baby You've got it'... I'm stoked to find this, thanks to the one who posted it...
As a blue-eyed soul vocalist Reggie King was up there with Chris Farlowe and the Stevie's - Marriot n Windwood. The Action could nail harmonies like no other mod band.
Someone made a documentary about them called 'In the Lap of the Mods'. It's well worth ferreting out but it was full of talking heads from the 'biz' who hadn't half the Action's class, like Phil Collins, saying how amazing they were.
This is ok. nothing even close to the original. nobody can sing this song like david ruffin.

Obscure sounds like this got me through the 80's, an appalling decade for music.

Yes happy days indeed - many wonderful memories of seeing them at The Marquee back in the 60s. x
