The Spidells sing, So Much In Love. Coined by the Tymes. Billy Lockridge, James Earl Smith, Michael Young, Nathaniel Shelton, Lee Roy Cunningham, all students at Tennessee State University.
Billy Lockridge should have been a star. Handsome, great voice, great dancer. Just goes to show there were many talents who should have made it. He still at it, performing, see him. He still got it.
According to Mr. Anthony Amp friend of Billy Lockridge frontman of the Spindells passed away! Mr. Amp said it was Billy who told him how to get the video of him so you & I and so many others could enjoy watching and hearing this beautiful song. It should also be noted they were college students at Tennessee State University. Listen to the harmony their riffs sounds better than the Tymes who coined so much in love. All for one sung it in the 90s it put them on the map! 25 years later still touring all over the world. The baritone kept the harmony going great job!
Wow this takes me back to the day my husband and I first met at 16, strolling along the shores of San Francisco, Beach.....and 49 years later, here we are listening to one of our old skool songs....
Emily Bolton when am exploring old music i only get the singers were black...mostly...cud it mean that in 60s 70s the industry was dominated by blacks or wat?
So Much in Love" is a song written by George Williams, Billy Jackson, and Roy Straigis (initially under the name John Joseph). It was originally performed by Williams's American soul vocal group the Tymes and was released in the summer of 1963 on Cameo Parkway Records, which produced many pre-Beatles hits of the 60s such as The Twist.🎷🥁🎸
What a wonderful timeless classic. This my first time hearing the Spidells sing it. I've heard The Tymes, and the Jackson Five sing it. The Tymes being the original. Thanks for posting.
The Spidells harmony & riffs are untouchable! I've listen to the Time, and other professionals groups nobody can hit the riffs! like the Spidells. Even the Time can't match that riff pattern; Other professional singing groups sing with a straight background line! On the other hand a riff carries the sound like a velvet wave. Listen again to the background vocals then compare the Time, Huey Newton & the news, they sing with a straight line in their background vocals!
These are Only college students! I have heard many renditions of this great tune. They are all very good. This is a very well preformed and produced recording. Thanks for uploading this!
No All 4 One aren't the original singers of this song. This group is the original singers of this song. ALL 4 One came out in the 1990's this people came out in the 1950 or 1960's eara back when vynle record players and eight track tapes were how much of the music originally came from before technology changed the way we listen to music 🎶 now.
I'm 62 and remember this song being played on my way to Viet Nam and brother this is a much better version. So much talent and i hope the group continues doing this style of music. A new fan and supporter.
Chuck, the song is great and so were the "Spidells" the original group that sung"So in Love."Frontman singer Mr. Billy Lockridge now passed away! Billy Lockridge and group members The "Spidells" met as college students at Tennessee State University.
