So, I'm just gonna offer a quick shot of an old (how I hate to use that word when I refer to a song I grew up with, but I digress), real tasty treat.
The Buckinghams were a Chicago based band which formed in 1966 and had their first hit a year later with a song called "Kind of a Drag." They were quite the flavor of the month for a while with several songs charting in the top ten.
One of those songs, we will sample today.
Starts with some big horns, a little bluesy, a little soul. Just (as we would say in those days of the British Invasion) fab. A real different sound for the band and the time.
Love this song to this day.
"You see she's got the kind of lovin'
Kissin' and a huggin'
Sure is mellow
Glad that I'm her fellow
And I know, that she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me"
The Buckinghams "Mercy, Mercy Mercy"
Just fab.

I didn't recognize the title at first..but when I listened I recognized the song. Catchy little tune. :)
