Hmmm, I've researched this for you a little bit, but need more info to go on. Based on the TJ reference, I'm assuming male vocals here? Could it possibly lean r&b? Group or solo artist? Did it get a lot of airplay, or was it probably only a "regional" hit? Any additional lyrics?End Quote

Yes, male vocalist. It had a very "militant" sound. It always made me think of Tommy James (altho' when I knew the song way back when, I didn't know the names of any groups then--later when I thought about it it reminded me of the type sound on the chorus of Draggin the Line). I don't recall any of the other lyrics, but each verse did repeat in the same way. It got a ton of airplay in Akron where I grew up, but don't know if it was local or not.

It appears the most likely title would be "Hey Baby", but the only song of that era w/ that title was the huge Bruce Channel hit from the Winter of '62, but I know that's not it. :( (The Buckinghams also had a big hit in the Fall of '67 w/ a song that had a modified version of that title, "Hey Baby " - but that doesn't sound like it, either.)

No, I remember the Buckingham's song.

Quoting:I don't show TJ and the Shondells ever recording a song called "Love, Love, Love", either, but they did record a song titled "Gone, Gone, Gone" (rhymes w/ "long, long, long"); it was the B-side of their smash hit, "I Think We're Alone Now", in the Spring of '67 (which fits your time-line). Just a shot in the dark... :)

Yes, I tried that one. For one moment there I had this glimmer of hope, but that was not it.  >:( I have not heard the song now for easily 35 years or more, and it is driving me crazy. It is the only "mystery" in my life that I have been unable to solve on the internet.

I did find a song called "Love love love love love" by a group called Terry Knight and the Pack, but cannot find a track of it online to check it out :(

I have been searching for this song since the first time you posted it.  This is all I know, but it may be the song.  You mentioned Terry Knight & the Pack.  Well, TK was a local band from Michigan before transitioning into Grand Funk Railroad.  "Love, Love, Love, Love, Love" came in at #56 in a listener vote on a Michigan radio station in May of 1967 (originally recorded in 1966 for the B-side of "This Precious Time").  I could not find the lyrics anywhere to confirm that this is definitely the group, but there are several people selling the vinyl.  I don't know if this has helped at all...I may just be babbling.

Interesting you should mention this. While doing my research, I didn't uncover the Terry Knight and The Pack song myself, but um, would you believe I actually have an album of theirs that inlcudes that song?! "Love, Love, Love" appeared on the 1972 compilation of theirs titled Mark, Don & Terry 1966-67, which I happen to have on cassette. :) Unfortunately, it's packed away at the moment, but will try to dig it up if you can't find any other leads. As merry-beth stated, it's GFR-related, which is why I picked it up several years ago when I ran across it... :)
