Now They Call Them Classics (Weekly): 'With A Girl Like You' by The Troggs (1966)

So I've changed the title from "oldies" to "classics" as I felt the former was too limiting. So this week's Now They Call Them Classics goes to another English rock band from the 1960's called The Troggs and their 1966 hit classic song With A Girl Like You. The Troggs were formed in 1964 out of  Andover, Hampshire, England and signed by the manager of The Kinks, and according to Wikipedia the band members are Reg Presley (vocals), Dave Wright (guitar), Chris Britton (guitar), Richard Moore (vocals and guitar), Pete Staples (bass guitar), Ronnie Bond (drums), and Tony Murray (bass guitar). With A Girl Like You was a single released by the Troggs in 1966 and which reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart that year. There have been many cover versions of this song, and it has also appeared on a few film soundtracks so check that out if your keen.
