Tommy James planned to record "Tighter, Tighter", but then decided this Brooklyn band could take it further, further.
Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime" conjures up that classic warm-weather vibe -- any time of the year. Here's the backstory.
The Monroes released one of the most infectious slices of 80s power pop. It was their only big hit, and maybe that's enough.
"Smoke From A Distant Fire" was their only big hit -- but this blue-eyed-soul earworm burned hot in the 70s.
It had crunchy guitar riffs, a unique vocal, and more than a touch of glitter rock. No wonder "Hot Child In the City" was such a 70s hit.
