1) The T-Bones were… Read Full Bio ↴There are three different groups with this name:
1) The T-Bones were a Liberty Records recording group from 1963 - 1966. The studio recordings of all of their albums but the last were done by American session musicians, The Wrecking Crew.
They should not be confused with the British mid-1960s band of the same name. In Britain, the name "U.S. T-Bones" was used for the Liberty Records group.
When the T-Bones had a hit in 1966 with the single No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In), Liberty Records quickly recorded an album of the same name using session musicians from The Wrecking Crew, but those musicians weren't willing to go on tour to promote the album. They were making too much money doing sessions in Los Angeles. So Liberty created a different "public" T-Bones group to appear on record covers, TV, and in concert. The "public" T-Bones were Judd Hamilton, Dan Hamilton, Joe Frank Carollo, Tommy Reynolds, and Gene Pello. None of them played on the hit record, nor did they play on the next album, "Sippin' and Chippin." However the "public" T-Bones did record the T-Bones' final album, "Everyone's Gone To The Moon (And Other Trips)." Dan Hamilton, Carollo, and Reynolds would later form the 1970s soft rock trio Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.
"No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)", was based on the melody from a commercial for Alka-Seltzer. The tune reached #3, and its follow-up, "Sippin N Chippin", peaked at #62; the accompanying album hit #75 on the Billboard 200.

now that my love is gone
Now that my love
now that my love is gone
I've made love to quite a few
it was always just for fun
But I felt
there was something missing
I was thinking of you
I was fooled
by the smile of woman
That I had more for ransom
I was finally free of my worries
But there is always
an emptiness inside
I despise you
But you're still on my mind,
through the sadness

The lyrics of The T-Bones's song "What Now My Love" tell a story of a person who is reflecting on a lost love. The song starts by acknowledging that the person's love is gone, and they have engaged in casual relationships since then. However, even during those encounters, they felt that something was missing, and their mind kept wandering back to their lost love. They were deceived by the smile of another woman, thinking that they had found a replacement, but ultimately realizing that there is always an emptiness inside when true love is absent.
The chorus emphasizes the conflicting emotions within the person's heart. They despise their lost love for leaving them, yet they cannot escape the thoughts and memories that still linger, causing sadness. The repetition of "now that my love is gone" serves as a reminder of their current state of emptiness and longing.
Overall, the lyrics convey the pain, confusion, and inner conflict experienced after losing a love. The singer recognizes the void left by their departed love and realizes that their attempts to fill it with casual encounters or distractions have been in vain. The mention of despise indicates a mix of anger, disappointment, and perhaps frustration towards the lost love, but deep down, they still yearn for what once was.
