Shadows Of Knight Win 'Gloria' Race
Louise Criscione, KRLA Beat, 7 May 1966
THEY HAVE shut down Them with their recording of 'Gloria'. They're the first rock group to come out of Chicago and really make a sizable impact on the pop world and they kicked their career off by being the resident group at a teen club in Chicago called The Cellar. Put all of the facts together and you come up with the Shadows of Knight.
