Legacy Recordings

The Chicago-based group with the British-inflected name made their first impression with the #1 indie hit “Kind Of A Drag” as 1966 came to a close. They were then signed to Columbia, and in 1967 connected with a string of four Top 20 singles that producer James William Guercio fashioned into brassy little big-band nuggets, including a vocal rendition of the Cannonball Adderley instrumental “Mercy Mercy Mercy.” Guercio’s records with Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago are credited with the introduction of jazzy, horn-driven charts into mainstream pop, but the blueprint for that sound was his work with The Buckinghams.
