Great Song! Good Clear Video! I Love How The Guys Look Like They Are From 1964/65,With The Beatle Suits,When This Is From 1967! Fashion Changed Quicker With Young People During The 60's,Not Like Now,With Skinny Jeans Being Fashionable For Nearly 10 Years!

This is just badass. Sounds a bit like 13 Stories High. Bottomless Pit.

I own a Uni-45 by Mike's other band, Choctaw (Mary Miles b/w California Hollywood) that must've been released in '70. Saw copies of a Choctaw lp for sale on eBay. Just checked the 5A's Wikipedia bio & didn't realize Mike was also part of Gladstone, who charted in '72 with "A Piece of Paper" . Very sorry to find out that three of the 5A's - Jim Grant, Norm Ezell & Jimmy Wright - have passed on.

Right you are! I am quite familiar with their legacy. Band co-founder Mike Rabon is a long time friend.

"I See the Light" was first released on Dallas-based Abnak label in 1965, then leased to Hanna-Barbera-Records on the West Coast for greater distribution & the song carried over into 1966. An HBR lp resulted, but the vinyl album didn't include singles "Evol Not Love" or "Good Times". 5A's went back to Abnak, who released the band's biggest hit, "Western Union", in 1967.
