The biggest hit to date from Chicago’s New Colony Six. The single reached #1 locally on powerhouse Top 40 stations WLS and WCFL long before it broke out nationally, which caused a bit of a drag on its overall Billboard success. Timing is everything. The NC6 wore colonial-type outfits on stage, similar to Paul Revere and the Raiders. Both bands auditioned for “Where The Action Is” and even stayed at the same hotel in L.A. at the same time. In the end, Dick Clark hired the Raiders.
