"Nothing Succeeds Like Success" by Bill Deal & The Rhondels

From the beaches of Virginia, singer Bill Deal formed the Rhondels to round out a brassy rock and pop sound. The band had some modest hits as the 60s transitioned into the 70s, beginning with "May I" at the start of 1969. Their rendition of Maurice Williams' "May I" just broke into the top 40, landing at #39. The band's biggest hit would be "What Kind Of Fool Do You Think I Am", which climbed to #23 later in 1969.

"Nothing Succeeds Like Success" only reached #62 in 1970, but remains one of my favorites from this underrated band. A catchy little ditty!
