“Get On Up” #11 10/21/1967

The Esquires were another of those acts that spent 10 years becoming an overnight success. They started out in their home town of Milwaukee and after many lineup changes, moved to Chicago in search of a record deal. Curtis Mayfield turned them down, so they eventually signed with a smaller label in the Windy City. This R&B Top 5 record was their biggest hit.
