Where Has This Song Been All of My LIfe?

From 1965, please enjoy Robb Storme and the Whispers and their minor Northern Soul hit "Where is My Girl".

I hadn't heard this until our friend Sal Nunziato posted it over at his invaluable BURNING WOOD blog last week, but as you can clearly discern some gentleman named Pete Townshend had, and obviously liked it enough to nick it for his classic "Substitute." (Incidentally, I am informed that Pete actually copped to the homage in an early 70s interview with Rolling Stone.)

In any case, the above is not as good as the song it inspired, but it's a pretty cool record nonetheless, you're welcome very much.
