"Sugar And Spice" #49 9/3/1966

The first national chart record for the Cryan' Shames, from the Chicago area. This was done initially by the Searchers in late '63, and was a hit for that British Invasion group in the UK and everywhere else but the States. The Shames did take it into the Top 5 locally on WLS, one of America's great AM rock stations in the 60's and 70's. Their drummer, Jim Pilster, adopted the stage name J.C. Hooke as he was born without a left hand and used a prosthetic curved in order to hold a drumstick.
