I remember this song [[by Tavares in 1975, also by the Four Tops) and I most definitely remember The Unifics! I did not that they were still singing. They made some very good records. I still have a couple of their albums. Thank you MikeW-UK for sharing this.
In 1969 they had probably the saddest record of all time with "The Beginning of My End".
LOVE it! I always loved this song and for whatever reason never knew the name of the group ... And those suits, right?? A great presentation. Thanks for finding -
The unifics-out of d.c. By way of[howard university]one of the great but underrated groups of the[60's]one of my neighbors was a close friend of the late great[al johnson].
Oh man really? Al Johnson and the original group got a lot of radio airplay when I was coming up.Quote:

That was the hardest, saddest song to listen to when I was a kid. Even sadder than Clarence Carter's "Patches".Quote:

Marv,there was a part where they[carry the casket]in their steps that stops the house,and al sounds like he's about to break down..maybe the saddest song ever performed live.
I'm telling you. My brother Robert and I use to listen to that song and would be completely silent. When got the album Court of Love, we wore it out. They were a tremendously underrated group!Quote:
