Editorial Reviews

Brenton Wood is a Soul singerwho is, probably, best known for his songs 'Gimme Little Sign' and the 'Ooogum Boogum Song' (both released in 1967). With Little Freddy & The Rockets, he recorded 'All My Love' b/w 'Too Fat' for the Chief imprint in 1958. Brenton further developed his musical skills and became a competent pianist, releasing some early 45's for the Brent, First President and Wand imprints. At First President, he released 'The Kangaroo' b/w 'That's The Way It Is' in 1960, followed by 'Mr. Schemer' b/w 'Hide-A-Way' for Wand Records in 1963. At Brent, he recorded 'Good Lovin' (in 1966), 'Cross The Bridge' (also in 1966) and 'I Want Love' (in 1967). He then signed to Double Shot Records and released 'The Oogum Boogum Song' b/w 'I Like The Way You Love Me' in 1967. The song reached number 19 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 34 on the Pop charts.
