Love-itis

Someone on my Facebook feed posted a YouTube video of a band from Buffalo called The Road, performing the song Love-itis, which I didn't think was as good as the version by Toronto band Mandala. (I also preferred Mandala's version to the one by the J. Geils Band). However, in his FB post, the guy mentioned another version by the song's writer, Harvey Scales, and his band The 7 Sounds. I found the original on YouTube and, wow, Harvey's vocals are just incredible and this is now my favourite version.

Harvey is very, very good, but I still prefer George Oliver's version with The Mandala. Saw them perform it in Brantford way back when... Great show & great performer.

Re: Love-itis

Did George Oliver sing that one? I thought he had left the band by then and was replaced on vocals by Roy Kenner.
