Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

One of the other band members found these reel-to-reel recordings of when our band (Sound Sensations Exhibit featuring vocals by Duke “Bubba Blues” Sakon), first was going big in 1967. Old style reel-to-reels sat in his basement for over 40 years and were rediscovered! They were copied to CD. Being a little rough I tried to clean them up as best as possible. I wanted to stick this particular song on, due to the interesting story that goes with it. We performed this song live at an all African-American school in Gary, IN. Standing in the wings was a large black man who after seeing our live/stage rendition, informed us he was from Motown Records and he wanted us to come up and record this song and Inside Looking Out (the Animals). Unfortunately wives, work, kids, school, etc. outvoted our running off to become rock stars! We just couldn’t pull up roots and leave. I have often wondered what MAY have happened, if we would have went the other way! I will also be uploading our version of Inside Looking Out for your listening pleasure. Thanks!
