This is Gail Nobles, and you're listening to a show about oldies. Today's topic is about a lost 45. The title of the song is (I've Been A Winner, I've Been A Looser) I've Been In Love by the Smith Connection. The style of the song is soul, and the year was 1972. The record label was Music Merchant. I could not find much information on the group. There are other songs by Smith Connection. It is said that the group made an album and that the album is a classic. I've Been A Winner....... just happened to be one of the songs by the group that I came across.

There are so many great songs out there by groups that I have never heard of; songs that I have never heard on the radio, but somebody knows about them. We're living in a day and age where lost songs can be heard now.

If you know anything about the group Smith Connection, you can write about it in the comments section of this podcast. You can find the song I've Been A Winner........on YouTube. I'm going to sing just a little bit of the chorus one more time.
