    Robb, I guess it was more like a ballad than anything else. I've got the song ripped to my PC but am having trouble getting the file copied to SDF. I'll keep trying. In the mean time, here is another song that was probably local to Chicago that I don't know who the group is. The song is titled "The Big Parade" and some of the lyrics are:

    Make me a face in the crowd, one of the lonely who only can cry and watch the big parade go passing by.

    At the end of the song the group sings "Passing by" repeatly while a deep voice repeats this line about 4X: "And watch the big parade go by" That song was played by DJs on WVON in Chicago.

    That song is "The Big Parade" by The Trends. It sounds so good because it was written by Van McCoy:

    That song was played for awhile on WVON. It charted locally, but wasn't a local hit. The Trends had a few charted records on Smash Records from 1964-65. They were with ABC from 1966-1970.

    This was one The Trends' best ABC records:

    "If You Don't Dig The Blues", another of their best, is on our recent "Chicago Soul" thread.
