This was a great track by the Monitors from 1965 with Richard Street on lead. Check it out:

The whole album is a winner, even the cover is a nice one.Not cheap/anonymous like the poor Elgins'one !
I just saw on DFTMC that their album was to be released on VIP.

I love it too. I first heard it on the UK-issue New Faces From Hitsville EP which I had a secondhand copy of. I did not hear the Tempts' version until I bought the Gettin' Ready long-player [[which has the same backing track).

Sometimes I wonder that if Motown did not employ the practice of having multiple artists record the same songs, would groups like the Monitors become bigger?

Also one of the coolest group names ever.

They also were quite good onstage.

I got The Monitor's Motown/Soul album for Christmas upon its original release back in 1968 or 1969. Loved it from the start, as I knew I would. After all, it was Motown!

I bought this album used, but in excellent condition back in the mid-80s.

They were orinally called The Majestics but changed their name after it was discovered that a California band had already recorded using that name.

The Monitors were an excellent and vastly underrated soul group, but I don't know who is who?

I know that Richard Street is on the far right and Saundra Fagin [[as the only woman and thus by process of elimination ;)) is next to him. Who is John "Maurice" Fagin and who is Warren Harris?
Also, were Saundra and Maurice Fagin related or married? [[Or both? ;))

Warren Harris is on the left of Saundra.
