I still go to see George Oliver when he is in town. And to think I booked him at the local coffeehouse/church basement (Doc's Place in Burlington) in the late 1960s.

@mattlindsay1414 It was recorded by Roy Kenner. I was confused about this myself, because I knew that Olly had recorded two tunes in LA with Mandala, and this was their second hit (Opportunity was first). However, I'd forgotten those thrilling days of yesteryear, when records had a B side

Mandala's 'Soul Crusade' will finally be released on CD by Pacemaker Entertainment at the end of the month!

Originally done by the great Harvey Scales for Chess Records. The Mandala actually had the bigger hit by giving it a little harder edge and making it one of their signature songs. Great, great tune done by a great, great Canadian band that was one of the first to gain success south of the border.
