Today's Forgotten Oldie...

In 1969, a band with a female lead singer blew me away with their version of the Burt Bacharach song "Baby It's You".  Smith, with Gayle McCormick on lead vocals, simply overpowered previous recordings of the song by the Shirelles and even the Beatles. Yes it was a one-hit-wonder, but it went Gold, stayed on the charts for four months, and reached the top 5 of the Hot 100.  A great song that deserves air play, Smith and "Baby It's You."
