Joe Buckner was lead singer of the Major IV, a Chicago group who recorded in Los Angeles in the late 60s. 'I Wish I Knew' had been issued by the Ballads on Venture in 1969 and that outfit later re-cut it as 'Butterfly' in 1975. Joe and the Majors give an equally impressive performance on this great Leon Ware/Susaye Greene song. 'I Stand Blue' is another Ware composition that we first featured by writer/producer Mickey Stevenson on the Kent 100 Club Anniversary single of 2019. Big-voiced Hal Frazier also gives a top performance on the excellent beat ballad
