    Wasn't it someone like the New Seekers or Brotherhood of Man? I'm
    sure a mixed sex vocal group did a song of called 'Something Old,
    Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' in the early
    70s.

397.2dont think soCOMICS::LANGMore Trouble Every Day...Wed Apr 12 1989 14:508
    re -.1...I don't think it was them, to the best of my recollection
    it was a Motown group, however I wouldn't swear to it.
    
    
    thanks anyway

    re -.1
    
    To be honest, I thought it was them also, but somebody has now claimed
    that it could be the Fantastics.
    
    Anyone else ?????

397.5Almost there.......YUPPY::FELLMAZZERThu Apr 13 1989 13:1310
    Had another thought on the way home last night!!
    
    Chairman of the Board are still my first answer but a little
    doubt crept in and I thought wot about ..............
    Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon.
    
    Re the Fantastics - nah I don't recognise that name at all.

    It is definitely by the 'Fantastics', as I have got that record
    at home and I love it!

    Yes, you're absolutely correct. Somebody else has just confirmed
    this with the good old "Guinness Book....."
    
    
    Thanks for all replies

    I was right! Who was it then, New Seekers or Brotherhood of Man.
    The latter I would say. Not that I was a fan you understand!

    AH Minus .1!
    
    I still maintain that a New Seekerish type group did a record of
    that name in the 70s. Bit of a cliche title anyway, probably dozens
    of songs with that title.
