This is another song that I hadn't heard in a while but, when I played it, I remembered that I used to hear it all the time. It's basically standard rock that features an organ as its dominant instrument; I would have been able to tell you that it is from the late 1960s without even knowing its release date. It's not bad but it's very much a product of that particular time.
Blues Magoos were from the Bronx neighbourhood of New York City. "(We Ain't Got) Nothing Yet" reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 nationally in Canada; it was their only single release that made any significant impact on the charts. (Other single releases reached #60, #81, #71, and #133 on the Billboard chart.)
The Blues Magoos underwent several personnel changes in 1969 and split up completely in 1970. They reformed in 2008 with three of their original members; with this lineup, they toured in 2015 and released their last recording in 2022.
