Omschrijving

Initially released in early 1965 by Them (featuring a young Van Morrison on vocals), Gloria 
went onto become a certified garage punk and bar band staple. Although thousands of 
musicians have performed and recorded this three and a half chord marvel over the years, 
the Shadows of Knight from Arlington Heights in Chicago scored the heftiest points with 
their own savage version of the hot and horny song, which in the spring of 1966 gripped 
the number ten spot on the national charts. Sad to say, the band failed to duplicate the kind 
of massive success they achieved with Gloria. However, they remained an in-demand live 
act and proceeded to produce outstanding material through the end of the decade. During 
their stint, the Shadows of Knight issued a string of sterling singles and a trio of terrific 
albums that belong in any serious rock fan’s collection. Having said that, Dark Sides (The 
Best of the Shadows of Knight) (Rhino Records) provides only a glimpse of their genius, but 
still holds as a fine introduction to the band and does champion their greatest moments.
