1. Shades of Blue was a British beat / R&B band of the 1960s that recorded their début single for Pye Records in December 1965: 'Where Did All The Good Times Go' b/w Ain't No Use (In Loving Me)'. After a two-year recording drought they signed with Decca and recorded a string of pop-psych singles under the name Toby Twirl.
2. There is also songwriter based in Cornwall, UK. The name Shades of Blue represents all the music of Mervin Hall, solo and as a duo with Barnaby Johnson on percussion, and also Studio recordings with local guest musicians. Originally from Wolverhampton, Mervin’s own distinctive musical style has evolved mainly through the influences of US and UK Blues artists as well as reggae and singer songwriters.
3. There appears to be a Shades of Blue from Denmark. Here is some biographical information in Danish:
Efter syv års pause er et af dansk blues’ flagskibe igen på scenen. Det århusianske band, med sangeren James Loveless i front, bragte i halvfemserne nye standarder til dansk blues med et utal af koncerter og de anmelderroste albums ”Shades of Blue” og ”On a Mission from Muddy Waters”. Nu er missionen genoptaget – til ære for Muddy Waters og blues-folket. Bandet selv svæver i de højere luftlag efter genforeningen, og glæden og engagementet brænder igennem i musikken og det nyeligt udkomne ”Live” album, “Feels Like The First Time”.
Med sin baggrund i amerikansk gospel synger James Loveless med en ægthed og power, der kræver opmærksomhed. En opmærksomhed han til fulde får fra gruppens anden frontfigur - guitar-ekvilibristen Uffe Steen samt bandets rytmegruppe -Morten Brauner på bas og Claus Daugaard på trommer.
Det er tight Chicago-blues, når den er bedst – med et hårdtslående repertoire bestående af Shades of Blues’ egne numre og klassikere som ”I’m ready”, ”Hoochie Coochie Man” og ”Crosscut Saw”. Der er en sjælden nerve og dynamik i sammenspillet, og gnisterne fyger gennem lokalet, når kvartetten serverer sin originale blues.
Bandmedlemmerne er blevet lidt mere grå i toppen siden sidst, men gløden er intakt og musikken sprællevende. Der er et musikalsk budskab ud over det sædvanlige, som skal forkyndes - Shades of Blue er stadig ”on a mission from Muddy Waters”!

OH! Thanks you sooo much for posting this unlikely song! Linda and Bobby are my parents. :) I'm very proud of their accomplishments! Right after I was born, the song hit the top 100 & they started touring with Dick Clark. I stayed with my dads parents when they toured. My mom loves reading all the wonderful comments and although my dad passed away 4 years ago, I know he'd be THRILLED as well! He loved music & The Shades of Blue was his heart. I'm a very proud daughter!!
