The Shades of Blue took this partly finished song written by Motown's Edwin Starr, fleshed it out, and became a one-hit wonder. But as happened so many times, these kids from the Detroit suburbs didn't know the ways of the music business, and didn't know about songwriting credits and royalties. Thus, they were hosed, and the group soon broke up. I was happy on this date in 1966 - "Dark Shadows" premiered on ABC. A low-budget soap opera that was cheesy, cheap, and full of stupid plot lines...and we loved it.
