Annotation
Group formed in Philadelphia, Pennslyvania, USA in 1969. Members included Roy Walker, Danny Todd, James Marshall, Timothy Jenkins, Bernard Henderson (bass vocals). They were also known as The Informers. In this Philly Soul track "One Little Kiss" (Blackjack Records # 1407-B-3), a man is off to war: "I got a letter here from Uncle Sam...going to a far off land". He did not want to go because he would miss his sweetheart. Through the years this has become a very rare Northern Soul collectible, selling for hundreds of dollar.

Lyrics
English: One little kiss and then I'll be gone / When I get home and I'll call you on the phone / And you mom will not like it and she'll be mad at me... / One little kiss, ooh, wee, ooh, wee / You'll never know what it means to me / I got a letter here from Uncle Sam / And I'll be going to a far off land / One little kiss and then I'll be gone
