"I’ve Been Wrong" by The Buckinghams

Chicago band The Buckinghams dominated the charts in the late 60s with classic hits like "Kind Of A Drag" (their only #1), "Don't You Care" (which hit #6), and "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" (which hit #5).

"I’ve Been Wrong" (sometimes listed as "I've Been Wrong Before") did not chart, but can be found on many of the band's "best of" compilations. And for good reason, this short and sweet rocker is terrific. It is a departure from their signature "sunshine pop" style, showcasing a grittier side to the band that is a welcome change of pace. It comes from the band's first album, "Kind Of A Drag", which went to #109 in 1967.
