A Little Togetherness The Kings Of Hearts

[kevinsoulman]

I KNOW IT SAYS FORMERLY THE NEW YOUNG HEARTS ON THE ZEA RECORDS LABEL BUT CAN SOMEONE TELL THE STORY ON THIS ONE

THANKS

KEV

Bobby Sanders fronted the Canterbury label in association with the Mattel Toy company.

A Little Togetherness was a breakout song in the LA area, but sadly failed to reach expected heights.

The group re-named due to contractual obligations with a 2nd attempt on Zea, before signing to 20th Century.

Both Bob and various group members attended

SoultripUSA in Los Angeles 2004. Sanders passed away recently.

Sadly cannot answer one. Charles Ingersoll who joined us at Soultrip may know. I will email him.

Here's a useful read up on the group.

The line-up of the Younghearts changed over time, on occasions because Bobby Sanders (their manager for some years) upset, fired & hired guys.

Bobby set on a whole new group on occasions as the original group broke from his control, hence them being the New Younghearts / Kings of Hearts on some recordings.

The Imperial Wonders from Cleveland were even hired by Bobby to become the group after Ron Preyer & his guys went their own way (Bobby telling the Imp.W that the original group had split up but that a new 45 was due out on them). But one night both groups were playing shows in clubs on the same street in LA, the Imperial Wonders went to meet the 'original group' and when told of their situation, the Imp. Wonder's quit as the Younghearts.
