I was born In '61 and loved these sounds and I still do. Sugar and Spice was one of my all time favourites; but the b side I Pretend I'm With You takes the pick.
I saw The Searches at Skegy ten years ago and while signing autographs John McNulty sang a verse I Pretend' to me. For a man of 70tee he captured the sweet sound of the sixties. Thank you John.
Yes, I know; I was referring to I Pretend I'm With You as just a 'b' side. 'B' sides weren't all that good; they were just fillers.. Mac sung it to me while signing autographs. He was around 70 years of age, at Skegy, and his voice was so wonderful.

Mike thinks he "wasn't too bad" a singer? In my book he's one damned good singer! But the group lost something when they lost Tony Jackson, which, from what I've read, was mainly due to some underhanded machinations of Chris (Crummy) Curtis.
