The Passions

This is one of those groups that I actually do not remember from the time their songs were popular. Larry Miller, who did the original KADI Oldies show, told me back in 1972, that this group was quite popular in the New York area back in the late 50's and early 60's. The first time I came in contact with this song was on Laurie's "Greatest Golden Goodies" LP that I bought back in 1971. I came across this YouTube clip and thought I'd share it with all of you.



An interesting thingg about "Just to Be With You" is that the demo version of the song was sung by Carole King and Paul Simon.

Enjoy.

Hey, remember when MF and the Galaxies went down to WIL-FM in costume and scared the crap out of Larry Miller?

We gave him the Fitch Hair Creme award, I think.
