"You Ain't Tuff" by The Uniques

The Uniques were a pop and rock group from Louisiana led by brothers Joe and Bobby Stampley. They managed to score two minor chart hits in the mid-60s with "Not Too Long Ago" and "All These Things," which reached #66 and #97, respectively.

After the group split up, Joe Stampley made a move to country rock and became very successful. As a solo country artist, he took "All These Things" to the top of the country charts. He also had a single Top 100 hit with "Soul Song" in 1973, which reached #37.

In addition to smooth and sunny pop, The Uniques could rock out and sound more like a garage band. "You Ain't Tuff" is one of the strongest in their collection.
