The R&B group from Chicago- produced by Curtis Mayfield from 1966-71 had 16 Hot 100 hits with only 1 making the Top 40 “O-Oh Child”- #8 in 1970. “Dear Prudence” is a cover of a Beatles song from The White Album- which was written by John Lennon. One of my favorite songs on The White Album. I like this cover version.
I do too. Good stuff.
