You Cheated/ That's The Way It's Gonna Be

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. This beautiful, pristine mint copy comes with a set of original jukebox title strips for Dot 15805. The Shields were a studio concoction by producer George Motola, formed solely to record "You Cheated", according to Joel Whitburn. Here was a case of a black studio group ending up with a more successful cover of a song that was originally written and performed by a white vocal group (The Slades)! Of course, the Shields were something of a supergroup, featuring Jesse Belvin, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, and Frankie Ervin. The uptempo flip is also a winner.
