M.G. & the Escorts



Their second single released in September 1966, "I Can’t Go On".is Beatles influenced with a fuzz guitar lead, strong melody, great vocals, layered guitars and a swirling fuzz guitar solo break. This garage/punk influenced track written by Glenn Grecco should have made a stronger showing on the charts. Disappointingly, it stayed on the Montreal charts for only four weeks reaching a high of number 38 on Dave Boxer’s CFCF Like Young Hit Chart...and it didn’t make it on to the CJMS top 40 chart. 

Side 2 - "The One Who Wants You" again is Beatles influenced and is a slower number with an infectious melody along with marvelous uplifting lead & harmony vocals.
