I wouldn't make the claim that this cover of Patti & The Emblems girl group classic is as good as the original, it's incredibly sweet and charming. Chicago's The Chips were a self contained outfit that played their instruments (with some string augmentation heard here) and cut two 45's during their time together (1966-68). PLUS, how could I resist posting this record, with those lovely doe-eyed, well-dressed mod beauties looking so sweet and coy on the picture sleeve?
from 1968...
