Hey musicminor25 This song may very well have been recorded in 64' but it was not released or played on the radio in Philly til @ least 65' or 66' like i said in my earlier post The Twilights were on the scene @ the same time The 5-Stairsteps debuted with You waited too long & World of fantasy. See if you can get in touch with Butter-ball from radio station W.D.A.S. for the final answer to this debate
The Harthon release is from '64 (late '64 I think). Here's what I think happened.. This got issued again by Parkway, which would have most likely happened in '65. Cameo / Parkway had a lot of pull at that time and would have had more luck getting this on the air than Harthon would have. That would explain why you heard this as a new record in '65. This happened a lot. "There's A Moon Out Tonight" by The Capris is a great example.. Originally released in '58 and not a hit until '61
This song was not from 1964 as i remember it was more like 1965 or 66. The original lable was Hawthorn as was their debut song It's been so long. The Twilights were were screaming @ the same time the 5 Stairsteps were kicking their hits .......but they never got any recognition.. The flip side of Shipwrecked was For the first time written by Eddie Holman. Sorry Jackson 5 but you guys ain't never had a song that can still drive the pasion and desire that these groups sang with
@ppehsy I'm sure this song was released in '64! I'm personal friends with the members of the group and have worked with them many times over the years!!

Could they sing or what? I loved this song so much I bought it twice -- I still have two 45s - one scratched, one not -- my sister and I even made up steps to this! We listened to it all day, every day -- Love it , love it, love it!!!!! Thanks for sharing -- Were they from Camden, NJ?
