Shadows of Knight - Gloria (Original Post) marble falls Monday OP

Great version of a fine garage band song. Silent Type Monday #1

Van Morrison wrote it, and originally recorded it with his group Them. rsdsharp Monday #2

I knew he wrote it, but my Brown Eyed Girl is first VM song I remember. Pretty sure the Shadows were when I heard Gloria Silent Type Monday #3

It was one of the most garage played songs of all times, and I heard this version before I heard Them's version. marble falls Wednesday #5

first. Well, truthfully it was probably one of our local high schooler bands around 66/67.

Actually it was only Jimmy Sohns & some other guys, but under the name which Jimmy owned.
They played college gigs, but not in their athletic centers.
More lije the performance theaters in the Arts department. That plus clubs leveraging the success of Glorua as local heroes.
He actually quit to become road manager of another band.
He (they) made a bit of a comeback in the 90s as an oldies act. We played some of the same clubs.
