I'm afraid that I know about the Promises, other than this is obviously a Chicago record.
This track was also cut in a far more famous (and equally sublime manner) by Chicago's mighty Chi-Lites; while The Promises don't quite have the vocal chops of the Chi-Lites, the record is incredibly charming in its performance. There's something about the harmonies that conveys a charming naiveity that lends itself beautifully to the song.
from c1971...
