New Colony Six - Love You So Much

The biggest of several early NC6 records on Sentar, this one was caught up in the Cameo-Parkway bankruptcy of early '67 that also killed early Bob Seger and Evie Sands records. Big Jack played this one every night on The Mighty K-Y...

Yeah, it was #4 in the WCFL Capsule Countdown back in late January of 1967. Thirty years ago when I got that aircheck I wondered who this was doing this song. Took me a few years to find out. Remember, no internet back then. Great song!

I remember Ron Brittain screaming "It's 10 O'clock...at the Voice of Labor!" over the intro.

I've got this album. It was a very nice song but didn't climb the charts and I really don't know why. It certainly takes me back to SW Ohio around Feb of 67. WSAI in Cincinnati gave it a lot of play.

There's a very easy answer! During any year from '64-'68, over 1200 songs made Cashbox. In 1995, 190 did. There simply wasn't room for all the good product, even at an average chart life of 8 weeks! Generally, the best won out, but not always. This is an exception. But there are hundreds of others, too.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words about the band in general and this tune in particular. Great ego boost on a dreary Monday night... Happy holidays to everyone! Ray, NC6

For anyone in the Northeast USA, you can hear this song being played on the Shoprite music feed while you grocery shop, among other obscure gems. Shopping never has been better.

No...I just commented on this clip that was posted by someone else....why do you ask??

[FullMoonVideo]

@newcolonyfreak1 So do you have this tape uploaded to the tube?

[newcolonyfreak1]

@truethought62 Not a problem...It's an easy mistake to make.- I was at this NC6 reunion...It was really a once in a lifetime event.- These guys hadn't been in the same room together for over 40 years prior to this night. After having a pizza party, the guys did an impromptu jam session, where they ran through a 2 hour set of all of their old records.-For having not played together in 4 decades, The Colony sounded remarkedly great.

Luckily, I videotaped the whole event.- Just incredible!

Sorry about that, ncf--I should have guessed that the gent on the right top was Craig--after all, I did happen to see a video of him playing with the current band. (When I thought about it, I knew that I more than likely had been mistaken here!) Thanks for the clarification--hopefully, Pat McBride has at least kept in touch with Ray and the rest of the guys in some way.

@truethought62 Technically, the last photo of the band that is shown at the end of this video is not specifically just the 1967 group line-up...The bald guy standing on the far right in the back row is original NC6 organist Craig Kemp, who was with the group from 1964-1966.- Craig was on the first album and the first 3 singles.

When this picture was taken at the NC6 reunion in April 2008, the only original member who was not in this photo is Pat McBride.- He wasn't in attendance.

[truethought62]

Nice touch putting the updated pic of the 1967 band near the end of the song--Ronnie, Gerry, and Pat standing, and Chic, Ray, and Wally in front.

Great music...the best of times for me. Wish i could go back.

Thanks for posting this one. I had completely forgotten about it until I just played this evening. I do have their "I Confess" recording on the Sentar label. They were great.

pop perfection!
