This is loud and shouty and soulful and slow-paced and features an electric organ. My first thought was that it was a bit like Vanilla Fudge. It takes itself a bit too seriously for my taste but it's a fascinating period piece.
The Jon-Lee Group were from Toronto. They were originally called Lee Jackson and the Checkmates before adding singer John Finley and becoming Jon and Lee & the Checkmates and then eventually the name under which they released this song.
"Bring It Down Front" was their only single release. It made to #23 nationally in Canada but did not chart in the United States. The band was unable to come up with enough material for an album and split up later that year.
