"Someway, Somehow I'm Keeping You" by The Tymes

The Tymes were a stunning Philly doo-wop group that rose to fame in the early 60s with the delightful malt shop hits "So Much In Love" and "Wonderful, Wonderful!" which went to #1 and #7, respectively. 

As musical tastes changed over the years, the group successfully transitioned to a funky soul sound that put them back into the Top 40 in 1974 (after a near 6 year absence from the chart). "You Little Trustmaker" soared to #12, but it also marked their last Top 40 appearance.

"Someway, Somehow I'm Keeping You" comes from the same album that delivered "Trustmaker." Equally energetic and fun, this tune did not chart, but proves The Tymes deserved a longer second wind.
