The Four of Us were from Birmingham, Michigan, just outside of Detroit.
They had two 45s on the Hideout label. The first from 1965 features “You’re Gonna be Mine”, which smoulders under a sharp fuzz riff. The flip was originally called “Batman”, then titled “Freefall” on a later pressing.
The 4 of Us’s second single, from May of ’66 was a good version of “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” / “I Can’t Live Without Your Love”.
Minor footnote in rock history is the fact that a teenage Glenn Frey joined the band after these records.
The Pleasure Seekers gave Suzi Quatro her start, for all you bubble-glam fans.An ode to teenage drinking!
Well I love you baby
I’m telling you right here
But please don’t make me decide baby
Between you and a bottle of beer.
Baby come on over,
come on over to my side
well I may not live past twenty-one
but WOO!
what a way to die!
Your lovin’ fluctuates baby
and everybody knows
but the temperature always stays the same
on an ice cold bottle of Stroh’s
When I start my drinking
my baby throws a fit
So I just blitz him outta my mind
with seventeen bottles of Schlitz
You’ve got the kind of body
that makes me come alive
But I’d rather have my hands around
A bottle of Colt 45
Baby come on over,
come on over to my side
well I may not live past twenty-one
but WOO!
what a way to die
