Wonderful to hear this, what a voice! They don't make songs like this now. Wish they did!

Thanks much for the praise! Drew's just glad that people still appreciate it 40 years later. Anyway, yep, he took care of their arrangements/production, although he may have had a hand in writing this one as well (can't remember).
I've posted a few of their other tracks on my profile that were sort of in a similar vein to this one. Drew didn't sing on ALL their songs, but he did most of the more "soulful" vocals, while Denny and/or Dave sang on the rest of their material.

how come the one song that I really remember and associate with the classmen, 'graduation goodbye' isn't on here anywhere? I remember hearing that song every may for 4-5 years during the late 60s on whb and kudl in kansas city where i grew up.

My father Drew Dimmel sang lead and played bass on this track. Thanks for posting it!
Don't know if I'd call them a "frat" band - they were actually more of a Beatles-ish 4-person group (at least during the 60s) but with an emphasis on vocal harmonies. You're right that this track stands out from the others - there actually were a few other tracks that had a similar "soul" feel to this one, but I don't think they were released as singles.

Your fathers voice is just fantastic on this song. Would be amazing to hear those other tracks...what happened to them?
