"More, More, More, of Your Love" - Bob Brady And The Con Chords
(Apr./May 1967, scene from The Hy Lit Show)
"More, More, More, of Your Love," a classic Northern Soul dancer, the original
released in 1966 by the fabulous Smokey Robinson and The Miracles on their
album Away We a Go-Go, but, dig this, the sound you just heard was not
Smokey. It was incredible Smokey sound-alike Bob Brady along with
his Baltimore group The Con Chords, a cover released in April 1967.
Plus, as a bonus, that rare video featuring Sheri and Susie,
my regular dancers on the Hy Lit Show.
