The Ledgends v The Lovelites [1970] - Gotta Let You Go [Red Balloon #RB-01 / Uni #73081]


Several members of The Legends were members of the original Notations who were formed in 1969 and consisted Cliff Curry, Curtis McCormick, Carl McPhan, Brian Taylor & Lee Dees. They recorded 'Trying My Best To Find Her' / 'Gonna Get Ready' on TAD #205 the same year. 

After this record Clifford Curry left taking the group name. Two groups emerged, a new Notations formed of Curry, LaSalle Mathews, Jimmy Stroud & Bobby Thomas, and The Ledgends consisting of Curtis McCormick, Carl McPhan, Lee Dees from the previous Notations along with Lamar Greer and Lenny O'Dell.

The Ledgends released three 45s all in 1970. I did a post on the goup some time ago here.

This song was written by two members Carl McPhan and Curtis McCormick. It was also recorded by The Lovelites the same year on their album 'With Love From The Lovelites'.

McCormick also wrote both sides of The Notations first single and The Softiques - 'Bashful (I'm That Kinda Girl)' / 'Two Kinds Of Boys', The Lovelites - 'Who You Gonna Hurt Now', as well as The Symphonics  'Guilty' / 'When I Grow Old'Billy Stewart - 'What Have I Done' with Fred Cash (The Impressions).
