Anybody got info on The Sandpipers who had a decent song "Ali Baba"
out on the Kismet label in 1966.

Note this group is NOT the white "Guantanamera" group that was big at
that time-----this is a black group on a chanting doowop number that
sounds it was lifted straight out of the mid-1950's

The expert Uni should be able to give you the lowdown.

And, of course, because it is a BLACK group, automatically it's better.
Right?
