Michael’s Mystics: 1969

Michael’s Mystics hit Billboard’s Bubbling Under chart with their local hit “Pain” on August 23, 1969.  It languished there for two weeks, only reaching #116.  My story:  I was making a tape for my dentist and naturally I wanted to include “Pain.”  I looked for it in my Billboard Top Pop Singles book and it wasn’t there.  How could this be?  It was such a monster hit in Minneapolis.  Couldn’t believe it.  Still sounds great.
