Used to think this was Smokey !! First heard this in the late 60's (I think). I was very young and just getting into Tamla/Northern. I used to say about it to my mates - no wonder no one knew it !!! Of course I know different now (and have for sometime, of course). One of my absolute favourites now - god it used to haunt me DOH !!!!
I first heard this song years ago (late 60's I think) and actually thought it was Smokey !! (I was so young and just learning !) - just beginning to get into Tamla/Northern. I used to say to people about it and that I thought it was by Smokey - no wonder I couldn't get a hold of it all those years ago ! DOH !!! I know different now, of course !!
Dewsbury - Earslheaton Youth Club 1968 - 15 Years Old, Levis Brogues, wishing I had a Scooter, Jean Bannister, sneaky bottle of Cider, Ahh those years , next record on - Bob Kuban and the In Men - Both on Bell Records , and another White Soul Man although Walter Scott was the Voice
Well done Mr Levine, great song and great text to go with it!! Love it! Now... Ill trade you your Frank Wilson for a picture of David Beckham? Please?
I remember Bob when he was with the Flintstones band . He lived across the street from me and the band wasn't going in his direction. My husband (Don) was in that band and we were thinking of him just the other day so I googled him, and BINGO...there he is!!!! Lots of girls liked him, but he LOVED his music! Good to see you Bob!!!!! Happy to say I know ya!!!!!
Hi, I'm Søren from Denmark. I hope that people who like this music will join up to receive "Reaching For The Best - The IAN LEVINE Newsletter".

It's all free, it's with Ian's full co-operation, so please join in!
interesting stuff...I'm now starting to understand the comparisons to smokey robinson and the miracles. As I type this I can't see the video, nor can I really distinguish his voice from smokey's.
I always thought this was a cover up...how wrong was I in later years! Great tune, and voice.
