Thanks for the information on the line-up playing in this vid. I have the debut album you mentioned on CD. It is certainly worth having.

Was that Bobby Thompson on bass and Dave Wendells on guitar?

Moss Groves, Sid Phillips, saxes; Roy Young, keyboards and restraint; Mick Burt, drums; Bobby Thompson, bass & co-vocal; Dave Wendells, gtr; Cliff Bennett, vocal & mojo hand. Openinig track on their eponymous 1965 debut album, setting an almost impossibly high standard for UK R&B combos.

A real Gentleman

Originally done by a black girl group called The Soul Sisters. Great cover!

Cliff Bennetts' version was actually over 6 minutes long. One of the longest versions of any song of the day.

A mighty mighty band that started to put some guts into UK pop music even before the Beatles & the Stones. Thanks for the vid.
