Additional information
The third album by Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers followed the tried-and-true formula of its two predecessors, with superior results. Bennett's cover of the Beatles' "Gotto Get You Into My Life" was a popular single in its own right, and with that number as the jump-off point for the long-player, the group produced a superb album around it, filled with nothing but highlights -- Bennett was in top form covering Sam & Dave and Wilson Pickett numbers, as well as one fine original ("Baby Each Day"), and this record contained some of the best blue-eyed soul coming out of England at the time. Indeed, his renditions of "Barefootin'" and "Ain't Love Good Ain't Love Proud" hold up as well in 2007 as they did in 1967. Sad to say, Got to Get You Into Our Life was also the swan song for the Rebel Rousers, who subsequently parted company with Bennett. ~ Bruce Eder
