The front left to right is Norton Wade (Guitar), Jack Barnard (Drums), Ben Barnard (Vocal). This was probably 1969. Like most bands back then we had several changes. The original recording [of ‘I’m Such A Lonely One’] had Frank Caneda on bass, Jimmy McKinney on Sax, Pat Hegler on trumpet along with Nathan, Jim, Mark, Norton, Jack and Ben". "We recorded the song on a 4 track at the legendary Master Sound Atlanta. The rhythm on 1 and 2, the backing vocals on 3 and the lead vocal on 4". "R. Smith is Roy Smith the genius singer, musician, song writer and producer who brought us all together for the song [‘I’m Such A Lonely One’] and recording. He let us borrow Billy Scott whose real name is Pete Pendleton. He sang backup on both cuts and harmony with Ben on ‘Just Give Us Time’".
