When I retire from music I can tell the whole story but it did chart . Radio stations split the play by spinning both sides of the record. "I'm Aware" was the flip side. Glad you like the 45.
All original KNACK's songs were released only on 45's or EPs. We didn't believe in recording "filler" material and both sides of our singles got radio play. Rhino and some other companies have shown interest in releasing a full CD of KNACK songs. Check out my new songs on Youtube (search: Michael Chain Band).
I remember in 1968 Visiting My Aunt in L.A. my cousin had a Knack Album.. never heard of them in Detroit.. This song reminds me of the Hollies.. definately a Brit sound....
Check out the Michael Chain Band's current recordings on YouTube. The guys playing with him now played with Steely Dan, Bob Seger, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, George Harrison, Tom Waits and lots more. I caught Michael Chain in concert and was blown away by his band!
My sister had like three singles by these guys quite Beatles influenced!Favorite:Pretty daisy or lady in the window!loved Pinkny Canady too!Any of that album on U tube?

Thank you for uploading all those Knack's songs.
When I heard this song on a 60's compilation album, I thought most of your songs were already available on some CDs as this song sounds really strong.
But seems like most of the singles except this one are now sort of hard to find and haven't been compiled yet.
I wonder if there's any possibility that those songs would be reissued in any format...?

Let's hope the CD will be available someday, hopefully in the near future...
I'm sure there's many potential fans who'd love to enjoy KNACK's sound!

I didn't know there was an older Knack. Nice sound...definitely a Hollies sound, and sound jangly Byrds-esque guitar.
