Today's Forgotten Oldie...

The Cryan Shames was an American band in the 60's that never really achieved national success.  They put several singles on the charts, but could never quite make it past the middle of the Hot 100.  But in Illinois and other parts of the Midwest, they were huge.  Their live shows were amazing, with an excitement and enthusiasm that was unusual even then.  In the studio they created three solid albums that sold quite well and are still available on CD today.  They still tour as well. "It Could Be We're In Love" was one of their singles, reaching #70 on Cashbox in 1967... I remember it being played a ton on the radio that summer and fall, a great song, forgotten today.
