Undoubtedly, the single most phenomenal Carolina Beach music hit of the 1970's was this recording by the Philadelphia-based Tymes. Released in 1974 it went all the way to #1 in the UK, but failed miserably on the US charts EXCEPT in one area....the Carolinas. Believe it or not, not until the Bee Gees released their Saturday Night Fever recordings, did I personally witness such a demand for a single song than "Ms. Grace" during the 1970's here in the Carolinas. Why it never took off nationwide at the time will always remain a mystery to me. And to this day, I meet people from other parts of the country who have never heard this recording. It became such a shag hit, that most d.j.'s started to lop off the beautiful intro to this recording and jump immediately to the horns and the rhythm section. I loved the intro so here is "Ms. Grace" in its ENTIRETY.

Their hits in the UK were sparse. The lovely So Much In Love was a minor hit in 1963, as was their version of People a couple of years later. Then in 1974 came You Little Trustmaker, which paved the way for this, by a long way their biggest hit in the UK. I gather that the actual title was Miss Grace, but to appease feminists, it was changed to Ms Grace.
You are correct that this is a premature fade ... The album version cut off the great fadeout, "Lady Grace, you're so fine, I want you for mine all mine, the minute I saw your face, I knew that I loved you." I searched far and wide until I found a copy of the original 45 with the fadeout. The song was written by John Hall of the band Orleans.
