The Moments
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, April 1972
OF ALL the stalwart American groups, the most hard done-by title surely goes to the Moments, three young men with a string of hits that runs into double figures now, including a million-plus seller. Outside of the States, the group has yet to even get a record released although now that Decca handles the Stang label, the situation may well change over the coming months.
