6905. Mandala - Opportunity
From: Opportunity/Lost Love (single); Year: 1967; Genre: Soul/Rock I absolutely love discovering bands such as Mandala . You know, bands that really didn't break in or get big, but contained members who would go on to bigger careers; more or less the reverse of a " supergroup ." Whilst they had a couple of minor hits, it really didn't work out and Mandala morphed into a band Bush , (not to be confused with the British band who later used the same name), but did not last very long either. Members would go on to play with acts such as The James Gang, Alice Cooper, Lou Reed and The Guess Who. Anyway, this rock/soul track is basically their main hit song that charted in their native Canada. Hear Opportunity on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Sam Cooke - Summertime My song pick 2 years ago today: Cab Calloway & His Orchestra - Geechy Joe My song pick 3 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Maybe Your Baby ...
