"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" (Buckinghams). #5 8/12/1967

The third and last Top 10 record for the Buckinghams, though they came close with their next two singles. This was a remake of a surprise instrumental hit a few months earlier by Cannonball Adderley, with lyrics added. Definitely far more bluesy and laid back than their previous stuff. Pretty sure the video is from the Smothers Brothers show. These guys were from Chicago, yet the Union Jack is behind them. Go figure.
