This 1960s group had a few hits, including one song still very famous today, and another that most rock fans should recognize. This song was not one of their hits, but it was a single. They had a very distinctive style, cited by many modern musicians as an influence.

Not "Lonely Days", either.

Not "Lonely Dats" or "Time Is on My Side".

I'm only here briefly and don't have time to do an update, but consider this an OFFICIAL UPDATE anyway. Everyone can guess again.
