The Classics IV didn't "become" the ARS any more than the Beatles "became" Wings; the only person common to both groups is guitarist J.R. Cobb. ARS' real antecedent is the Candymen, who started out as Roy Orbison's backup band and who once featured Bobby Goldsboro as lead guitarist. ARS organist Dean Daughtry, drummer Robert Nix, and original lead singer Rodney Justo are all ex-Candymen. > 4) Love Grows (where my Rosemary goes) -- Edison Lighthouse > 5) Smile a Little Smile for Me -- The Flying Machine > (somebody once told me that they were the same group years apart) Close. They are both studio groups masterminded by producer Tony Macauley and featuring lead singer Tony Burrows (who also sang lead on the Pipkins' "Gimme Dat Ding" and First Class' "Beach Baby"). They weren't "years apart", either - more like 3-4 months. Andrew W. Rogers
