“(There’s Gonna Be A) Showdown” #21 1/25/1969

The last Top 40 hit for Archie Bell and the Drells, from the last album they released for six years. The group did have some success on the R&B charts during that time, however. Archie was asked why he mentioned his home town of Houston so often on their records. He said he’d heard a comment after the Kennedy assassination that nothing good ever came out of Texas, so Archie wanted to dispel that notion.
