THE MUSIC EXPLOSION
One-hit-wonder Ohio garage band that reached number two in 1967 with "Little Bit O'Soul," a great gutsy pop/rock number with a classic bass-organ riff. Whatever personality they may have had was coated in the studio by producers Jeffrey Katz and Jerry Kasenetz, who would soon help create bubblegum with acts like the 1910 Fruitgum Co. and the Ohio Express. The Music Explosion didn't have nearly as juvenile a sound as those groups, but they never latched onto another piece of material nearly as attention grabbing as "Little Bit O'Soul," entering the Top 100 only once more with the tiny hit "Sunshine Games."

The Music Explosion's only album, released in mid-1967, was unfortunately typical of the more hastily assembled packages by one-hit wonders of the time. It had the hit ("Little Bit o' Soul"), its B-side ("I See the Light"), and ten other songs, most of them written by their producers, with covers of "96 Tears" and Terry Knight's "Love, Love, Love, Love, Love" thrown in. Unsurprisingly, "Little Bit o' Soul" towers over everything else in the collection as the only really fine cut. The rest is garage-pop-rock, with more of a soul influence than was typical for the style...(AllMusic)
