  • Intro: Gail Nobles

    Today on Multi-Tunes .. gonna talk about Ollie and the Nightingales - I Got A Sure Thing.

    Earlier in the show I talked about music in the 1960s. I mentioned the psychedelic songs, the peace songs, and love songs. Stax Records brought pSouthern soul and Memphis soul music with Ollie and the Nightingale. They released a number of singles according to Stack Records. But they're most successful was 1968’s "I Know I've Got a Sure Thing", a William Bell/Booker T. Jones composition which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Black Singles chart.

    In 1969, In 1969, the group released a long-playing album, Ollie & the Nightingales; "I Got a Sure Thing" was not included because Atlantic Records retained ownership of that single and all other pre-1968 Stax material after Stax severed its distribution deal with Atlantic.

    Ali in the Nightingale were singing the song I've Got A Sure Thing with a lot of faith and confidence. The lead singer believe with happiness that he had a good woman. He said: I know I've got a sure thing.

    I’m Gail Nobles. Tune in again next time for more Multi-Tunes.
