The Fantastics [1965] - Hi Note [Copa #8007 / Sound Stage 7 #45-2548]


Continuing The Fantastics theme, "High Note" is the first single from the Houston based group released initially on Houston, TX, label Copa in 1965 and then gaining wider distribution via Sound Stage 7.

The song was written by group member Willie Pernell as a tribute to The Impressions and features Jethro Caldwell on lead vocals. It may explain my comment in last post re. having a Chicago mid sixties swing sound to the "Have A Little Faith". The flip side "That One" also has that Chicago mid 60s vibe.

Pernell later joined Archie Bell & The Drells which may explain why these guys didn't release more records as all three are pretty darn good! I suspect that after his departure the group disbanded?
