Tighten Up

Today's forgotten oldie was requested by a listener that can't understand why a song that was #1 on the Hot 100 in 1968 isn't played any more. I've never understood it either.  Archie Bell and the Drells, a Houston band that actually had several hits, took "Tighten Up" all the way to #1 on BOTH the R & B chart and the Hot 100.  AB&TD performed and recorded until their final breakup in 1980, but they were always known for their signature song, the "Tighten Up." Today it's mostly forgotten.
