I remember at the Uptown Theater here in Philly WDAS Georgie Woods would have the "battle of the groups." I remember the Mad Lads, The Temptations and the Vibrations and others were on the show. The Mad Lads came out on stage dance steppin before they sung a note. The audience went wild (especially the ladies.) Then they broke into "I want someone" I want a girl and the crowd was wasted when the late great Robert Phillips would sing his memorable bass line on "Come closer to me." The crowd chanted MORE! MORE! MORE!!! After their set they had to come out for a couple of encores. When the week of shows ended, I remember listening to the radio after I got home from school when Georgie Woods announced the winner of the "battle of the groups" the Mad Lads had stole the show even from the mighty Temptations.

[@REDD_BLITZ]

Stax definitely had a slew of acts that had all the makings in becoming as bigger and greater than the label's top and well-known artists. Especially the Mad Lads that had it all but just never received that ultimate break! A favorite and stand-out tune by the Mad Lads was "No Strings Attached."

[@antniocastro6262]

Man they had some good low drag songs. I thought they were from Philadelphia. They had that Philly sound

[@jevan40]

So nice and I want a girl…
