1967

GIRL I NEED YOU * THE ARTISTICS * BRUNSWICK 55315 * USA

Tommy Greene replaced Marvin Smith on this the groups follow up to their only hit I'm Gonna Miss You. Originally released in the US on the 6th of March 1967, and in the UK on the 21 April that year (see below).  

I can't help thinking that had The Artistics records been  released in the UK on one of the labels with a higher Soul profile like say, Atlantic or Tamla Motown, the group would have been more famous, even with Soul music fans than they were due to the consistent quality of their music.
