This vocal group was originally comprised of three guys and a gal from Livonia, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, who liked to hang around a recording studio doing background vocals hoping for a chance to record on their own. They got their chance when recording artist Edwin Starr wrote a tune and had them record it. The song was "Oh How Happy", and the group now calling themselves The Shades of Blue had themselves a Top 20 hit in the early summer of 1966. "Oh How Happy" peaked in June at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
