"I (Who Have Nothing)" #46 1/7/1967

You really can't call this group a one-hit wonder, as their highest charting record didn't make the Top 40, which is the accepted criteria. Terry Knight and the Pack were still very popular regionally on the Michigan music scene. This Italian song was first done in English by Ben E. King in 1963, with the biggest hit version in 1970 by Tom Jones. The drummer and guitarist of the Pack were Don Brewer and Mark Farner, who became the nucleus of Grand Funk Railroad in a couple of years as Terry Knight became that group's manager for a time. GFRR and Knight later had a falling out.
