@WestBrighton65 Thanks again! The lead singer did a fabulous job with this song--amazing.

@MultiStats Lead singer was a guy named John Ventura. He had a very unique voice. Search "Beeds Expo67", that should bring you to the interview with the lead guitarist that we did a while back.

I just love this song since I was a girl and can't get it in MP3!!!

This reminds me of Indian Giver by the Ohio Express for some odd reason.

?? if this ISN'T joey levine on lead vcls, it's sure an amazing replica/impersonation

Good one! I've been burning out 'Run To Her' so much, that I forgot about the flip side! LOL! John's voice (lead singer) in this one kinda sounds like the lead singer of "The Rockyfellas" an early group that did "Killer Joe". Unique.

Good one- I have The Shadows of Knight doing "Shake" on this label.
I first heard this song on ""60's Jangle Radio" and really enjoy it. I love how the lyrics capture the perspective of a personality most of us have encountered at one time or another. Thank you to Beeds, the song writers, and the singer who was perfect for the song. Thanks to you, PCino45s2, for posting this.
One question: this is a female singer who does not appear on other songs by The Beeds or Cats Meow, is that correct?

@MultiStats Too my knowledge, I've never heard of a female singing on their recordings so I'm wondering if the lead singer is doing a "gimmick" or not. Like a Rockyfellers sound or something.
