The C.O.D.'s - Michael The Lover - 1965
Check out this clip from YouTube.com. I can't believe it! As I mentioned in a earlier post I used to be in a band called Pinch. Robert Lewis was the leader of the group and my songwriting mentor. He used to be in a soul group named The C.O.D's and they had a hit record named Michael The Lover on which he is the lead singer. Robert told us stories about the group but until now I had never seen a video. I hope you enjoy it as much as me. Robert is the one in the middle.

YouTube has removed the above video so I am providing a link to the audio:

I believe Michael Lewis grew up in the same CHA public housing project as myself. It was 4040 S. Oakenwald in Chicago. I've been trying to find a single or album with "Michael the Lover" on it. Do you have any sources that I can try?
I happen to have a couple of 45's on the C.O.D.s and love their slow songs such as pretty baby and cry no more. Would love to see a cd with their recordings. Do they have enough material to put once together? Is that even a possibility?
THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING MY HUSBAND AND ME WITH THIS VIDEO OF "MICHAEL THE LOVER" WHOSE NAME IS ALSO MICHAEL. MY HUSBAND WAS TWENTY-ONE WHEN THE RECORD WAS RELEASED AS A 45.
Why did YouTube remove the clip "Michael The Lover? I would enjoy viewing that clip!
