billy smith thanks for your review Billy! It was sad to hear all the stories from Buddy! They were really overlooked as trailblazers!

Troy Ragland that’s so cool! Never got a chance to meet him but Buddy would tell me all the stories. Buddy passed away a few years ago so there’s no one original left. Sad! My goal was to try and get them inducted. My film partner and I even have a full play and full film script. Hopefully one day I’ll get the word out even more!! Thanks Troy!!

Michael Guercio Feel free to reach out to me and ask questions. troyragland@aol.com.

Troy Ragland I will thank you! You as well. Guerciom@yahoo.com

Yeah JImmy was a nice guy died too young thought he was in great shape because of his business was surprised when he passed.

OH MAN!!! Just listening to that keychange/sax break again. CHILLS! And almost tears. Wow. You guys made something so magic. Really affected me as a little kid. And it will last forever. It still makes me feel electric, just listening to it. Thank you, Chords!!!!

Sam the Man Taylor.. classic..

I guess they just don't have the real rock n' roll stuff like the other RnR's who are in like the Foo Fighters, the dynamic Lenny Cohen, Joan Baez, the Shakur guy? and Public Enemy, to name a few. What a joke.

Politics. Always will be😅

Chuck Harper Jr thanks Chuck! Im a good friend of Buddy Mcrae’s Son. Fascinating Story given to me directly from Buddy’s mouth. Unfortunately we lost Buddy a few years ago! God Bless!

That was the word. Great Band, always admired their cryptic lyrics. Very underrated band! Thanks for nice review! 🙏🏽

The UGHA Hall Of Fame is the real deal. The Chords, with three original members, reunited and performed at UGHA. It was Carl Feaster. Buddy Mcrae, Jimmy Keyes, and Gary Morrison a veteran of other Bronx groups like the Mellows

'Lu Lu'

At least the cords could be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the one hit wonder section they certainly certainly deserve that

You are out of your mind ,this is a great song,far better than that dreadful cover by the crudcuts,also bill haley"s cover of shake ,rattle and roll sucked too! White radio only played white covers of black music and cheated the black artists out of their royalties! .

Np thats sour grapes myths. i'm confident the vover here was better. its played more on classic hits. when they did it they traveled everywhere. both are good but the cover is superior. bills 'shake' was better too. its different. its not the first great rock song but his rock/clock was. tHat started it all. Bill was more rocking. the other guy is not remembered. i know him but most don't. playing covers is fine. normal. radio played everyone if they were good enough. Even black radio played some American music that was very good.

I do not deal in sour grapes,the truth is that the white record industry cheated black singers out of any profits they would make on their music by covering their music with inferior covers from people like the crewcuts and haley.When you cover someone"s song you make royalty payments to the artist who wrote the song.It took years of fighting for these black singers to get these payments they were owed.

Its not a white industry. White is a rem that denies actual identity and thus moral/intellectual/legal claims to anything. it was a american industry, very Jewish by the way, and the charge they desired to deny Africans(or blacks etc) profits is unproven. its simply they saw a way to make more, different, monies for a great song. covers were made of blacks, non blacks, and made money and did not. Crecuts/haley made more money because they made better songs. Possibly more exposure for the blacks ones would of helped but it hasn't since. anyways it was the blacks fault. they segregated themselves in music circles and still do. It was american kids who listened to anything good. Not blacks as everyone knows. If monies were denied then thats robbery. thats different. Thats not the charge. its a charge that non-blacks could get more exposure and so more sells. Doing covers is normal. Elvis did covers of all. By the way. Bill Haley loved fast R/B music and was friends with those he covered. There was corruption and injustice, remember they were Jews, but it was all lower class and seedy. Unlike today eh.

The fact that covers of black songs were recorded proves the fact that I am right,the fact that white radio stations would not play black songs on their stations but would play awful covers of black songs and not pay royalties proves my point also.People loved black music but the promoters and record companys wanted white singers to sing the songs.Furthermore,Jesse Stone,The Chords,and a number of black song writers obtained settlements for that injustice,and lets not leave mobsters out of the mix either,it was the mob who backed people likw George Goldner,Morris Levy and others involved in the payola scandle.elvis,haley and others all say they loved black music,what else could they say.Finally, corruption abides in any endever that makes large amounts of money,music,sports,politics to name a few things its as true today as it was yesterday!
