  Finally! The Buckinghams! For me, "Don't You Care" is still one of the greatest singles of all time! Thanks!

  Gotta add: The backing vocal lines on &quot;Kind Of A Drag&quot; are so cool.<br>&quot;Don&apos;t You Care&quot; is a well-crafted Pop song, as well. Nice interpkay between the guitar &amp; electric piano. Very mature playing for such young guys. 😊

  Now I understand why I sometimes get The Buckinghams and Gary Puckett and The Union Gap mixed up. I really liked this deep dive into the Buckinghams because I had the Mercy Mercy Mercy single as a kid. Still love the song to this day. Thanks Matt for this interesting bio.

  In 1967, KInd of a Drag was all over Canadian radio. I had saved up my 79 cents to buy the single and my older sister, who was going to the shopping mall, was delegated to buy it for me. The mall had a department store that had a record section. Anyway, when she got back, she told me that Kind of a Drag was sold out so she bought me Penny Lane instead.<br>I was disappointed.<br>Fifty-seven years later, we are still listening to Penny Lane, and KOAD has almost been relegated to the dustbin of pop history along with the Buckinhams` output.<br>They deserve better. Good salvage job Matt, You are a true pop archaeologist.

  The lead singer had a pure and clear voice.

  The Buckinghams are still performing! &nbsp;I just saw them recently at the Desplaines Theatre as part of the Cornerstones of Rock series. Only two of the original members remain. Carl Giamariese on guitar, &nbsp;and Nick Fortuna, &nbsp;on Bass. Mary Grebb , Keyboards, died a few years back and drummer Jon Jon Paulos died in the 1980s . The front man singer Dennis Tufano is now a solo act.

  Excellent Matt! One of the more underrated bands from the 60&apos;s. Their last 2 albums are excellent.
