The Uniques

Years before Joe Stampley began his ascent to nation stardom, he fronted a Louisiana rock-band, the Uniques, who have been very popular in the South, although country wide interest eluded them. The group had been ironically called in light of their failing to establish a distinctive style. These were adept at blue-eyed spirit, covering William Bell’s “YOU DO NOT Miss Your Drinking water” and Artwork Neville’s “EACH ONE OF THESE Things,” getting a huge local hit using the last mentioned tune. These were also with the capacity of waxing great, first, Southern-flavored pop-rock, specifically on “LATELY,” another big Southern strike. And, strangely enough, they also do an all-out, raunchy, R&B-hued garage-band stomp, “You Ain’t Tuff,” gives the music group a relatively misleading picture among garage music group enthusiasts. The Uniques, when it emerged right down to it, had been a music group content to provide whatever the viewers desired. That was a secured asset so far as getting live work, & most most likely a hindrance in carving a substantial creative market for themselves. While they couldn’t certainly be a significant group, these were with the capacity of crafting some pleasant, if diffuse, singles. Joe Stampley’s vocals had been also admirably versatile and expressive, if much less soulful as you of his primary regional competitors, John Fred. Many rock and roll listeners will concur that the very best Uniques information outshine Stampley’s single work by the space of a soccer field.
