"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.

Hey you uptown groovers, knock me your lobes.

Time to slow it down and sway a while to
one of the sweetest sounds ever to come out
of the Motor City. These cool cats are known
as Motown's best-kept secret. They call
themselves The Originals and here's

penned by Marvin Gaye and his
wife Anna Gordy, Berry's sister,
a stone smash in '69-- "Baby,
baby, baby, I'm For Real!"

That's a wrap. You've been ridin' on a Natural Hy
with me, Hyski, on S-P-M-M. To play us off the air,

Stax house band Booker T. & the MG's. Time is tight
and I gotta scram outta here. Stay tuned. Coming up
on the flip side of news, it's my buddy Shady Green,
The Dean of Keen, and his Wayback Machine, and
