The Classics - It Didn't Take Much

How many different groups were there called The Classics? I know of at least four.....this groiup and record comes from Canada, and that's pretty much all I know about them....this was ttheir only output on the Jerden record label, but what a record! I have no idea who the group members were (was this song's writer Tom Baird in this group?) or if they ever put out anything else under any other names. This record comes from around 1964. You can hear great records like this one live every night on www.topshelfoldies.com!

The group that I most associate with the name the Classics is the one that did "Pollyanna". Later they became better known as the Classics IV.

The only group to have a major chart hit as The Classics was Emil Stucchio's group, who had a hit with Til Then....

I am of the opinion that the "Tom Baird" in question is the late, great keyboard genius who mostly tenured at MOTWON from 1968-1974. working with such stellar acts as DIANA ROSS, RARE EARTH, GLADYS KNIGHTY & The PIPS, XIT, The ORIGINALS, RIOT, STEVIE WONDER, & STONEY & MEATLOAF..As well as being 1/3 of the MOTOWN pop trio named MATRIX (1972 LP, 1974 single)

I have a Playlist of songs written by Joe South, and I just realized that the entry for "Pollyanna" by the Classics is the one you uploaded. And it's even the thumbnail that I picked to head the playlist, even though it's not the first song in it (which is "Hush" by Deep Purple).
