Description
Artist: The Underdogs
Title: Loves Gone Bad/My Diary/Mo Jo Hanna
Label: V.I.P
Catalogue No: V.I.P 25040
Year: 1966
Country: USA
Details: - The Underdogs were a four-man garage band from Grosse Pointe, Michegan, with three guitars and a drum, This single is a real find. Inspired by the success of English bands like the Beatles, the Dave Clark Five, the Rolling Stones, etc, the band formed in high school and started playing at local promoters Dave Leone's and Ed "Punch" Andrews' legendary Hideout Club in Harper Woods, Michegan. The Hideout was a teen dance club. Bob Seger & the Last Herd, the Fugitives, Doug Brown & the Omens, the Heavy Metal Kids (featuring future Eagle Glenn Frey), Suzi Quatro & the Pleasure Seekers, and Ted Nugent & the Lourds are some of the rockers that played the Hideout.
The bands' hometown popularity piqued the interest of Motown Records who signed them to a deal. They had one single release on the VIP label, a tough-as-nails makeover of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Love's Gone Bad" The Underdogs are reportedly the first white band signed by Motown. What should have been a hit didn't generate much chart action according to Motown's standards, reaching its zenith at number 122 pop in 1966. The single is a real find, if you can locate a copy.
