About the band from Wikipedia: The Little Boy Blues formed in 1964. The group signed with the local IRC label, but agreed to modify their blues-based sound, in favor of a more commercial Beatles-inspired approach. Later in n 1965 they issued the single "Love for a Day," which became a major hit on Chicago radio and would earn the band opening gigs for acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Lovin' Spoonful, and The Association. Their next single, the fuzz-drenched "I Can Only Give You Everything," became a local hit and is now regarded as a 1960s garage classic. They gained a weekly residence at the popular nightclub, the Like Young. After an appearance on Dick Clark's television series, Where the Action Is, and with the local success of "I Can Only give You Everything," the Little Boy Blues appeared to be on the cusp of national fame. But, in September 1966 lead singer and guitarist, Lowell Shyette, was drafted into Army duty. In 1967, the band left IRC for the Ronko label and issued their fourth single, "The Great Train Robbery," which, like the one before is considered a 1960s punk classic. As psychedelia grew in popularly, the group began to move into a more diverse musical direction, playing at local "be-ins" and headlining at Chicago psychedelic clubs such as the Cheetah and the Electric Playground.
Around this time, the band signed to a record deal with the Fontana label of Mercury Records, and recorded a full album of material.
The Groups song "Seed of Love", on the album "In the Woodland of Weir" (Fontana, 1968), can be widely recognized as the most prominent sample for the song "Public Service Announcement (Interlude)" produced by Just Blaze on the Grammy nominated Jay-Z album "The Black Album". The Jay-Z song was featured on the soundtrack of the popular video game NBA 2K13.
